    Professional Tax

    When you take a look at your payslips, you will notice a small deduction mentioned on it, along with the other components like HRA, conveyance and basic salary break ups. This deduction is very minimal and is termed as Professional tax. Generally, this type of tax varies from state to state and in certain places, you may realise that there is no deduction made under this heading.

     

    Professional Tax is a tax levied by State Governments from the professionally occupied business entities or professionals. A person earning income from salary or professions such as Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, Lawyers, etc. is required to pay professional tax every year around of Rs. 2,500 to the state or local authority by way of Tax on the profession, trades, callings, and employments. For the purpose of this registration, the employers, professionals, traders, etc. come under the purview of registration.

     

    This tax is deducted from the salary of the employer, which is later eligible for deduction from the computation of taxable income. The registration is obtained by the employers and business owners with the respective Municipal Corporation. Being it State based registration, the rate of tax and method of registration is different. The slab is usually based on the gross income of the professional. It happens to be deducted very month from his/her income by the employer. Further, there are two types of registrations being – PTEC and PTRC registrations.
