Question 1

What does the Taxation & Payroll practice cover?

Accepted Answer

Two jobs that share one calendar: direct and indirect tax advisory with complete filing support, and end-to-end payroll processing from salary structuring to disbursement, with PF, ESI and professional tax handled alongside.

Question 2

Why are taxation and payroll one practice at Contrarian?

Accepted Answer

Because they meet every month: TDS on salaries, PF and ESI remittances, and professional tax all sit where payroll and tax overlap. One team running both means the deductions on payslips and the amounts filed with the department always agree.

Question 3

Can Contrarian handle both our company's taxes and our employees' payroll?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that is the design. Corporate tax planning and GST run beside monthly payroll, so nothing is filed twice, missed once, or discovered late.

Question 4

What taxes do you advise on and file?

Accepted Answer

Direct taxes, including corporate and personal income tax and TDS, and indirect taxes, principally GST. Advisory covers planning your positions through the year, not just filing what already happened.

Question 5

What does end-to-end payroll include?

Accepted Answer

Salary structuring, monthly processing, payslips, and the statutory side: PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS, with registers and returns maintained. Your team gets paid the same date every month, and every deduction reconciles.

Question 6

How do you keep deadlines from being missed?

Accepted Answer

Every client runs on a statutory calendar computed from their registrations, with preparation starting ahead of each date. The same calendar drives both tax filings and payroll remittances, which is why nothing slips between the two.

Question 7

We only need payroll, or only tax. Is that fine?

Accepted Answer

Completely. Each service stands on its own with its own scope and pricing. The advantage of the shared team simply arrives automatically if you later add the other.

Question 8

What do you need from us each month?

Accepted Answer

For payroll: attendance and any changes, new joiners or exits, by an agreed date. For tax: access to the books and invoices, which is automatic if Contrarian already handles your accounting. We chase everything else.

Question 9

How is this priced?

Accepted Answer

Payroll is a simple per-month retainer scoped to headcount and complexity. Tax engagements are scoped to your registrations and filing volume, agreed in writing before we start. No surprise line items.
