Professional Tax Clarification Needed
I am working for an agricultural company. Our product is sold all over India, and our sales manager works in different states. How do we deduct Professional Tax, and where should we deposit the tax amount?
Please guide me.

If you have any branch offices in other states, then the Professional Tax needs to be deducted based on the slab rate of specific locations, and the amount has to be paid in the respective locations.

It depends on your setup. If you do not have branches or any establishment in any location, then the entire amount has to be paid in your home state.
If you have establishments, offices, or branches in any other location, the professional tax of the employees sitting at those offices (or reporting there) will need to be paid in that state.
If your appointment letter states that the person is appointed in a specific state and will work there, then it's better to pay professional tax in the state stated in his appointment letter.
You can deduct at the head office from the salary, but you will need to find someone in each concerned state to fill the challans and file the same.
