Hi,

I have a doubt regarding PT. Is it calculated based on the 30 days or after deducting LOP? For example, if a person worked only 12 days in a month and his actual gross income is above 15000, whereas as per working days he is getting only 5000.

So, do we have to deduct the full 200 PT, or none at all, as he is earning only 5000 in that month due to LOP?

Kindly revert soon.

In Karnataka, Professional Tax (PT) is typically calculated based on the actual number of days worked by an employee, not on a fixed 30-day basis. If an employee has worked only 12 days in a month and their gross income exceeds the threshold for PT deduction, the tax should be calculated based on the actual income earned during those 12 days. In this scenario, where the employee's actual income for the month is 5000 due to Leave Without Pay (LOP), the PT deduction should be based on this lower income amount. Therefore, the PT deduction should be adjusted according to the actual income earned by the employee in that specific month. It is advisable to consult the Karnataka Professional Tax regulations for precise calculations and compliance.
