Professional Tax (PT) Services - What is the service about ?
Professional tax is levied by, not all, but some of the State Governments on all individuals who earn a living through any source especially salaried employees and professionals including chartered accountants, doctors, freelancers, etc. subject to monthly salary amount exceeding the PT limit if any. This is a tax that is to be paid by every single earning individual and professional tax is not the same as income tax but it is an important component of your tax obligation. The calculation and amount collected may vary from one State to another State wherever it is applicable but it has a limit of Rs. 2500 per year.
Professional Tax is one source of revenue for the Government and is used towards bettering the services of professionals in that State. Anyone who renders professional services in any of the States where it is applicable, Professional Tax is levied as a direct tax on persons earning an income by way of either practicing a profession, employment, calling or trade levied under Article 276 (2) of the Indian Constitution. Most of the Indian states levy Profession Tax like Karnataka and Maharashtra have Profession Tax, but there is no such tax applicable in Delhi and Haryana. Since States are independently empowered to levy Profession Tax, the rate of professional tax varies from one State to another State. Each of the States, mostly opt for any of the two options where it charges as a percentage value or some other states tend to charge it as a fixed amount based on income slabs. The appearance of Professional Tax (PT) is visible in the payslips/Form 16 issued to salaried employees as a deduction from their salary income. The taxpayer is eligible for an income tax deduction for this payment.
