How to Calculate Karnataka PT for a New Employee with Partial Month Salary?

For an employee, the gross salary is 45,000. He joined 8 days before the end of the month (April 23). So his gross salary for that month is 12,000. For Karnataka Professional Tax (PT), do we need to consider his April gross salary (12,000) for PT or his complete gross salary (45,000) for Karnataka PT filing?

Hi, professional tax should be calculated based on the earned gross salary, not on the actual gross salary.

Professional Tax Calculation for April

PT is calculated on earned gross only, and as it's just 12,000/- in the month of April, PT is not applicable. With effect from April 2023, PT is not applicable for employees drawing wages below 25,000.
