If we talk about salaries person, they generally worried about professional tax which is shown under deductions in their monthly payslips by the employer but they do not know why it is deducted and on what basis it is getting deducted every month from their salary. Let\u2019s discuss in this article What exactly professional Tax means, Who has the power to recover this? how it is calculated?

Every state has its own rules regarding the Collection of Tax and punishments in case there is any violation of any regulation made by the state government. Central Government cannot intervene in the decision of state government to levy or not to levy professional tax. However, the State can not charge more than Rs. 2,500 professional tax from a person in a year.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction: Apart from Income Tax, there is one more Tax which is levied on the basis of Income of one &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"What is Professional Tax?
