Understanding New Profession Tax Rules: How Do They Affect Your Salary and Business?

Profession Tax Updates

No Profession Tax on salaries less than ₹15,000/- (earlier applicable from a salary of ₹5,000/- onwards). There are only two taxable slabs: salaries between ₹15,001/- to ₹20,000/- are taxed at ₹150/- per month, and salaries above ₹20,000/- are taxed at ₹200/- per month.

• Companies not registered under the APVAT Act and having a turnover of less than ₹10.00 Lakhs do not attract any Profession Tax. (Earlier, all companies were taxed at ₹2,500/- per annum.)

• Directors drawing remuneration from the company (other than those nominated by the Government) are only liable to pay a Profession Tax of ₹2,500/- per annum. (Earlier, all directors (other than those nominated by the Government) were liable to pay a Profession Tax of ₹2,500/- per annum.)

PT Registration and Applicability in West Bengal and Orissa

We have PT registration in West Bengal. We have engaged some workers, and appointment letters were issued from the Kolkata office. The workers are engaged at a construction site in Orissa State, and they are originally from Orissa.

Please guide me on whether PT will be applicable or not. If applicable, which state PT slab should be followed.

Thanks,

Hi Bhargav, can you kindly share the source of this information? It is month-end, and we would need a strong source before we can put any such claims. Thanks for the efforts.

Dear All, Can anyone tell, apart from AP, if there are any other state governments that have made such changes? Please let us know soon. It will be useful for us to a great extent.

Is this same change required to be made for the state of Tamil Nadu as well?

Professional Tax Rates in Gujarat

Could you please provide information on the applicable rate for Professional Tax (PT) in Gujarat State? I am particularly interested in understanding the specific rates and any relevant details about PT in this region.

There is no PT deduction up to Rs. 6000/- in Gujarat in the year 2013-14.

Could anybody provide me with the PT slab rates for employees in Maharashtra?

Please find attached the Gujarat State Notification for P TAX.

Professional Tax and Regional Variations

PT is a state affair. I think the PT slab changes suggested here seem to be applicable for the state of Hyderabad. I don't think the PT slab for Maharashtra has changed. It was last changed in 2009-2010. In case there are any changes to the Maharashtra PT slab, colleagues, please forward the circular copy for information and to make necessary changes in payroll.

Clarification on Gujarat Commercial Tax PT Act

Referring to Krutika Patel's reply, the Gujarat commercial tax website PT Act states a ₹200 tax for salaries above ₹3,000 after 1.4.08. It has two schedules: one before April 2008 and the other after April 2008. However, the notification indicates different tax rates. Which one is correct?

Practicing members, please reply. Below is the link: http://commercialtax.gujarat.gov.in/...rule/Ptact.pdf

I was working in a company in Bangalore, and after my retirement, I was hired as a consultant in the same company for 2 years. I am inquiring whether I need to pay any professional tax by registering privately with the professional tax department of the Karnataka Government.

Thank you.

Can anyone tell me the PT deduction details in Delhi, Mumbai, Gujarat, and Noida states? Please help me.

Thanks in advance.
