Ammonium sulphate has the formula (NH4)2SO4
Structurlly, it is (O)2=S -(O-NH4)2
Oxidation No. is '6' for sulphur.
The formula of ammonium sulphate is (NH4)2SO4, showing that each formula mass contains one sulphur atom. The formula mass of ammonium sulphate is 132.13, and the gram atomic mass of sulphur is 32.06. Therefore, the percent by mass of sulphur in ammonium sulphate is 100(32.06/132.13) or 24.26, to the justified number of significant digits.
Valence is a property of atoms (or of particles acting in similar roles), not of molecules, and ammonium sulphate consists of molecules. So it doesn't have a valency. Please see the link.
The chemical symbol for ammonium is NH4, and it has a valency of 1. Remember ammonium is a radical.
Things are complicated if we use the term valency. It is better to use the term Oxidation state or Oxidation Number. In SO2, the oxidation state of sulphur is +4 and In SO3, the oxidation state of sulphur is +6.
The valency of a sulfate ion is -2, meaning it has a charge of -2 due to the presence of four oxygen atoms and a sulfur atom. This valency allows the sulfate ion to form compounds with metals and other ions through ionic bonding.

You don't say that. What you do say is that the valency of sulphur in sulphur trioxide is 6.
In ammonium perchlorate, the valency of nitrogen is +1. This is because nitrogen in the ammonium ion (NH4+) carries a +1 charge.
Ammonium sulphate consists of two ions: ammonium (NH4+) and sulphate (SO4^2-).
The chemical symbol for ammonium is NH4, and it has a valency of 1. Remember ammonium is a radical.

Ammonium sulfate is most commonly called "fertilizer".
The valency of an ammonium ion is 1 (positive).
The sulfate anion has a valency of 2-, i.e. it is SO4^2-
Carbon has a valency of 4, while sulfur has a valency of 6.
The molecular formula for Ammonium Sulphate is (NH4)2SO4.
