Taxes on Salary Employee

[Asked by Guest]

Dear Experts,

Hope you all are well!

Ram is an employee of some ABC Pvt. Ltd. company. He is highly paid but the work given to him is too much, so he has decided to recruit 2 employees under him at different Rented location. He will be paying directly to these 2 employees, this has got nothing to do with ABC Pvt. Ltd. This will now reduce his work. The new location is on rent and he is paying 20k a month for it.

Now the question is that if he was just and employee, only Income Tax was applicable. But now as he has further 2 employees under him, pls confirm what further taxes will be applicable?

If still there is only Income Tax applicable than will his employees salary and Rent of the location will be deducted from his annual salary and on the balance amount, Income Tax will be applicable?

Pls, advice. Thanks.
