As we have learnt, Less electronegative atom will be the central atom so, sulphur is the central atom.
Structure of SO_{4}^{2-} ion is:

Formal charge= valence electrons- lone pair of electrons-bond pair electrons/2 { for individual atoms}

The formal charge on central atom sulphur is 6-0-\frac{12}{2}=0
