How the New Professional Tax Slabs in Karnataka Affect Your Salary from August 2008

Respected Members,

As you are aware, effective from 1st August 2008, professional tax slabs have been revised in Karnataka. I would like to share the details I have received on this.

Hitherto, Profession Tax was applicable for employees drawing a salary of Rs 3,000 and above per month. Consequently, PT payable was Rs 30 for the salary slab of Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,999.

With effect from 1st August 2008, employees drawing a salary up to Rs 4,999 per month are exempted from payment of PT. The existing slab from 1st August 2008 is as follows:

1. Rs 5,000 to Rs 7,999 - Rs 60
2. Rs 8,000 to Rs 9,999 - Rs 100
3. Rs 10,000 to Rs 14,999 - Rs 150
4. Rs 15,000 and above - Rs 200

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Friends,

I am in confusion regarding PT deduction. I am working in Bangalore, and my question is what all has to be considered to find the slab. Whether it is only the fixed monthly salary or we have to consider other allowances which are variable. Please be more specific if allowances have to be considered. I mean to say whether OT payment has to be considered. Please reply.

Can anyone tell me whether we need to deduct the Professional Tax on LTA.

Not required PT on LTA. As LTA is a benefit given by an employer where he can save tax.

Hi guys,

Perfect info there. All I need to know is, if one has defaulted in the payments of PT on time, what is the rate of the fine or how much fine is to be paid?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

For individual professionals, the PT age limit in Karnataka State is said to be 65 years (i.e., senior citizen category). Can I have the reference to this clause?

Thanks.
