The recent announcement states that there is no professional tax until 5000. The structure from 5001 onwards remains the same as provided by Joseph Eka.
Thank you for reaching out. I can assist you with the effective date. I oversee all India affairs, so the information will certainly be beneficial to me.
GO MS No: 21 dated 07 Jan 2008 exempts up to Rs 5,000/- for Andhra Pradesh for the new "Professional Tax Classes of Assess." This amendment is deemed to have come into force on and with effect from 01-01-2008. The GO is readily available for the same.
Please clarify the range for me once again because I believe it should be as follows:
0-1500: 0
1501-2000: 16
2001-3000: 25
3001-4000: 35
4001-5000: 45
5001-6000: 60
6001-10000: 80
10001-15000: 100
15001-20000: 150
20000+: 200
I recently came across this information in the gazette. Thank you.
The Revised PT slabs in Andhra Pradesh are appended here for your information. Salary and wage earners whose monthly salaries are wages in Rs.
1. Up to 5,000/- Tax Nil
2. from 5,001/- to 6,000/- Tax 60 p.m.
3. from 6,001/- to 10,000/- Tax 80 p.m.
4. from 10,001 to 15,000 Tax 100 p.m.
5. from 15,001 to 20,000 Tax 150 p.m.
6. Above 20,000 Tax 200 p.m.
I have a small doubt. Does the HR department deduct the Professional Tax from the salary of the employee, or does the Finance department do this? Which department has the major responsibility for PT?
Yes, I agree with Mr. Reddy. The current applicable slabs of PT are as follows:
1. Rs. 0/- to 9999 = Nil
2. Rs. 10000/- to 14999/- = Rs. 150/-
3. Rs. 15000/- and above = Rs. 200/-
