Income tax is a direct tax collected by the central government from all taxpayers. It is charged on a certain percentage of their income. Whereas, professional tax is an indirect tax collected by the state government. It is charged based on a slab for people engaged in business, occupation, or employment.
Each Indian state prescribes its slab for professional tax. For example: In Maharashtra, if your monthly income is between ₹7,500 to ₹10,000, then the professional tax levied is ₹175. Similarly, for monthly incomes above ₹10,001, the tax levied is ₹200 for 11 months and ₹300 on the 12th month. Finally, when the monthly salary is less than ₹7500, there is no professional tax imposed.
Employers in some states are required to deduct and deposit taxes from employees whose pay exceeds the minimum slab limit. That entity must get a registration certificate as well as an enrollment certificate.
Once the payment has been made, download the payment acknowledgement receipt. The receipt indicates that the payment has been made successfully.
One may apply directly for a professional tax registration certificate through the official website of their state. However, it is recommended that you get professional help for the first time. Contact SPSI to get the certificate in no time.
The individuals who are residing in India can only become partners or members in a partnership firm. Foreign individuals who want to form their business in India can choose private limited companies.
Professional tax appears at the top of the salary slip as it is deducted even before calculating income tax. The employer deducts it from the salary of the employee and deposits it with the state government. Professional tax is calculated on the earned gross based on the tax levied by the statement government in the respective states.
