Professional Tax - Corporate Office

We have Mumbai based Corporate Office & having branches in delhi & Ahmedabad also.& operating all process including making Salary from Mumbai
The Professional Tax is not applicable for Delhi & Ahmedabad.
Can we deduct Professional Tax from the salary of all staff or is it applicable for Mumbai only ????
Pls suggest
Mathu.

Dear Mathu
The professional Tax is deducted as per state they are working.
For example - our organisation is located in Bangalore and Payroll processing is done at the Head office/Corporate office located at Navi Mumbai. so all employees Professional tax is deducted as per the slab of Karnataka state and the Professional Tax returns should be filed in Karnataka state instead of Mumbai.
As your is corporate office and perform salary/Payroll processing for all the branches. So P.Tax should be deducted as per their work location.
If the Professional Tax is not applicable for Delhi & Ahmedabad then should not deduct from salary.
Hope have it's clear to you.

In Delhi Professional Tax is not applicable but in Ahmedabad Professional Tax is very much applicable, and if the employees are working in Ahmedabad as per the Appointment Letter, then they are liable to pay Professional Tax for that STATE they are working.
