So the holiday season is over, and the new year brings new plans and new schemes. Your people have packed up their long vacations, and they’re back to the offices seeking fresh motivation and another chance to shine at something that they’re good at. They’re probably also busy filing proof of their investment declarations. It’s that time of the year when payroll departments have to start their tax calculations but it’s no employee’s favourite thing to do.

Have you taken a moment to think about how we can make things a bit easier for them? And what about a bit more fun as well? If you’re wondering how we can make tax benefits fun, that only means you’re normal . Before Zeta Tax Benefits, there was manual paperwork for payroll and there were tedious claims for employees. But after Zeta, the picture is a bit different.

We took the most fun tax benefit out there and made it simply fantastic! If you play your cards right , you could include Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) in your tax benefit package for your employees and get away without tedious paperwork and verification. LTA lets your employees save up to 30% in tax on their domestic travel expenses. It covers air travel, railway, taxis and most public modes of transport.

Zeta Tax Benefits LTA lets employees claim this allowance without any paperwork and without the struggle of trying to make sense of archaic claims systems. It’s powered by Zeta’s digital platform. For organisations, that means liberation from time consuming checks and verifications, while freeing up resources and manpower. Optima validates travel documents and approves grants as per Government mandates. Our experts do all the checks for you. That’s more time on your hands, so you can focus on the things that really matter. The Optima LTA Card generates reports so you can track all of the claims digitally and even call up bills up to 8 years old when you need to tackle an audit.

So along with new plans and schemes, let your employees make their travel plans this new year. They have something to look forward to, and Zeta can promise them that they won’t have to run around to make their claims this time next year.

Mark Twain said travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness. We might just be making the office a better place. Travel is a precursor to adventure. But it can be an adventure without some of the hassles.
