Dear Raghav/ CiteHR family,
Does the professional tax vary with respect to the class of city/corporation in Tamil Nadu? I am in Ooty, the Nilgiris, and the tax amount seems to be lower. I am apprehensive regarding the future penalty for not paying the correct amount.

It is very simple.
There is no component business in the calculation of Professional Tax.
Whatever the total net salary earned by anyone during the six months is added up and, as per the salary range, Tax is recovered. The six-monthly period is April to Sep and Oct to March.
Suppose someone's six-monthly total net salary is Rs. 30,000, then he/she has to pay Rs. 75 as Professional Tax. In the same way, if someone's six-monthly total net salary is Rs. 76,000, then he/she has to pay Rs. 810. Even if it is Rs. 5,00,000, then also it is Rs. 810 only.
The first half should be paid on or before 15th Sep to the respective corporation area (ward) office where all other taxes like Property Tax (House Tax), water Tax, etc., are paid by the public. For the second half, it should be paid on or before 15th March. But normally, one or two weeks grace period is given unofficially. No issues. No fines or penalties. No company/No Employee is exempted from paying this Tax.
Of course, any employee whose total six-monthly net salary is below Rs. 21,000, then he/she is exempted. In addition, the company as a whole is treated as one huge net salary-earning employee, and for that, an additional Rs. 810 to be paid by the company as the company's share.
Then there is a Company Tax. That also to be paid. There is a slab for this company Tax. The minimum is Rs. 200, and the Maximum is Rs. 1000 for any big company. It is based on the paid-up capital of the company.
The rates are different from city to city, corporation to corporation for both the Professional Tax and for the company Tax. But the procedure is the same. No change at all. Kindly confirm the local rates from the office where other taxes like property tax, water tax, etc., are paid by the public.
For further clarification do write to me.

Hi,
Thanks for the compliments.
As per the rule, you have to deduct every month and pay it after six months. But if the net pay increases due to promotion or increment, then the monthly recovery also has to be changed. In the same way, if there is a loss of pay, then it also has to be changed. That is why some employers deduct in the month of August and February salary for remittance in September and March. There is another secret behind not deducting every month. If someone leaves the company in between, then there is a headache of either you return them at the time of their leaving or for them also you go and remit at the time when you are making the payment of others. You have to maintain their records also till such time. But the rule is very clear. Even if someone who was getting a net salary of Rs. 25,000/- leaves your company, you have to deduct his contribution of Rs. 75/- from his full and final settlement and remit it to the authorities along with others. The reality is something else.

Hi Kumarasubramanian,
Thank you for the information. As you have said, the slab varies from city to city. Is there any possibility to get consolidated data from TN Govt. websites?

Dear Friend,
I don't think there is a website for this, but there is a book costing around Rs. 20/- on Professional Tax in the markets, which includes various other cities like Madurai, Coimbatore, etc. Professional Tax slabs and rates are quoted.

If a person joins between April to September, how will we calculate the professional tax for that person in Tamil Nadu?
For example, if a person joins in the month of July, how much professional tax does he have to pay?

Hi Kumarasubramanian,
Could you please tell me how to calculate Professional Tax for Tamil Nadu? I have some doubts. If a person joins between the months of April and September, how would you calculate the Professional Tax for that individual?
For example, if an employee joins in July of this year and their net salary for that month is 6000, how much tax would they actually pay in September?
Thank you.

Dear friend,
He does not need to pay any professional tax. The reason is his income from July to September is Rs. 18,000 (at Rs. 6,000 per month). Up to Rs. 21,000, it is nil. Suppose his pay is Rs. 8,000 per month, then his earnings from July to September are Rs. 24,000. He has to pay Rs. 75 as professional tax because his slab falls in the range of Rs. 21,001-30,000.

Hi, I am working in two companies. One is regular, and the other is part-time during weekends. Both companies are paying professional tax in my name. Will it create any problem for me in the future when I change my job in the coming days and I furnish Form 16 obtained from either of the current companies to my new employer? Would there be any issues during verification?
Please help me in this regard.
