How Do I Handle Professional Tax Deductions for Remote Employees in Different Locations?

Professional Tax Deduction Clarification

I need clarification on professional tax deduction. We have our registered office in Chennai and a development center in Bangalore. Additionally, we have a couple of employees working from home in Chennai and various other locations. Currently, we do not deduct any professional tax for all employees. However, I am now considering implementing a professional tax deduction.

For those employees working from Bangalore, I understand that I need to register with the Bangalore Corporation for professional tax deduction and deduct the professional tax according to the Karnataka state slab. My question is regarding employees working from home at different locations. How should I handle the professional tax deduction for them?

Thank you for your assistance and guidance on this matter.

Warm regards,

Hi,

For the employees working in the Bangalore region, registration must be done in Bangalore itself. If an employee is working from home in the Karnataka region, it is advisable to consider registering in Bangalore. Otherwise, deductions should be made at the headquarters location.

Thank you.
