Professional Tax (PT) is calculated on the gross salary of an individual & Working State rule.
Gross salary refers to the total amount of income earned by an employee before any deductions or taxes are taken out.
Each state in India has the authority to impose and collect Professional Tax as per its own rules and regulations. The rate of Professional Tax varies from state to state and is usually a percentage of the employee's salary. Some states have a flat rate for all employees, while others have different slab rates based on the employee's salary.
Professional Tax in India is based on the employee's working location. Regardless of the location of an employee's office, if the employee is working in a particular state, then the employee is liable to pay Professional Tax to that state government.
Professional Tax in India is usually calculated on a monthly basis, regardless of the number of days worked in that month.
Professional Tax slab rate varies from state to state. (StaffingGo keeps upto date State wise PT slab rate as master data for PT Calculation)
