Karnataka PT; employee joined 8days back and gross 12000 for 8 days.

For an employee gross salary is 45,000. He joined 8 days before a month end (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 (12000) for PT or complete gross salary (45000) for Karnataka PT filing?

Hi,

Professional Tax to be calculated on Earned Gross salary and not on actual Gross salary.

PT is calculated on earned gross only & as its just 12,000/- in the month of April PT is not applicable. WEF April 2023 PT is not applicable for the employees drawing wages below 25,000

Do you have the notification for increase in PT limit?

Hi Mr.Saswatabanerjee,

Please refer the attachement.

Thank you, Lakshmi Narayanan

It makes sense for more states to do this rather than cling to a small amount as revenue per year... Hope others will follow their lead

Hi Saswata
Even Maharashtra has enhanced but unfortunately its only for women employees & for men it remains the same
