Professional Tax [Thread 302256]

Hi,
If a contractor whose office situated at delhi send his employee to work in karnataka.
Whether employee if worked for full year in a company in Karnataka will be liable to pay professional tax.
If yes is it obligatory on the part of his employer in delhi to deduct his professional tax from salary and pay to karnataka Govt authority?

Hi Krish,
Hope you have found an answer to your question by now.:)
Actually I am facing a similar situation. Can you please help me on this.
I would like to know whether our company which is based out in Delhi, will be required to register under the professional tax Act in Karnataka even if we do not have any office or branch there and there are only two employees who would be working from home in Bangalore.

Nidhi

Hi Nidhi,
If period of employment is more than 120 days in a year as rates prescribed in the schedule. sec 3(2).
Compulsory Registration / Enrolment under the Act under sec 5 within 30 days of becoming liable to pay tax.
I hope this will help. In case you need copy of Act. let me know.

Hi Krish,
In the registration form under Professional tax Act we need to provide the address of the company whereas we do not have any office (as said earlier). what shall we do then?

Nidhi

Hi Nidhi,
The act is applicable when employement is in the state of Karnataka. In your case if appointment formality done at delhi then you are not covered as employer. Becasue employement is in delhi and person working there are just fulfilling thier contractual duties.
You will be covered only when you have office in Karnataka. Like a person employed by X company outsourced to B company then he is employed by X not by B.
Too much interpretation is involved. pls check meaning of employed in karnataka.

If you go by explanation inserted in definition of person, it also gives the idea that a branch or office should be situated in karnataka.
