Hi, my queries regarding Payment of Prof. Tax payable by a company are as follows:
1) Is a Director counted as employee while determining the annual p. Tax Liability of a company? Suppose a Company has one employee & 2 directors, will the company be liable for Rs. 2000/- P. tax or 2500/-
2) In case a company is formed and established in a middle of year say August 2009, Does it have to pay Prof. tax on proportionate basis or for full year of 2009- 2010.
3) Further I assume that Prof. Tax is to be deducted only on salary withdrawn. If a person is appointed director of a company in August but takes salary from October onwards, does he have to pay Prof. Tax for 2 months of August & September?
Kindly respond back as soon as possible.

Profession Tax which is paid by Individuals, Is it refundable or not. What are the rules for that? What are New profession Tax Rates for the Year 2011-12? Please reply!
Due date for Profession Tax is 30.06.11
Profession tax paid by the individual is not refundable, in Maharashtra.
Profession tax for four years, if paid in lumpsum, before last date to pay it, that before 30th June, then, he need not pay THE PROFESSION TAX FOR FIFTH YEAR. Here also, Maharashtra Government has made it amply clear that, within these five years, if circumstances forces the Assessee to close down his business, whatever the Profession tax he has paid in advance is not refundable.Similarly, if by chance, Maharashtra Government lowers its Profession Tax within these five years, whatever the amount paid by the Assessee, its difference in Profession Tax is not refundable by the Government to the Assessee.
Under these circumstances, Profession Tax is non-refundable item in Maharashtra State.
If you wish, you may verify this fact by putting a Right to Information Application to Profession Tax Commissioner, Maharashtra, Mazgaon, Mumbai – 400010.

In continuation of my earlier reply, i am giving you reply to some of your points, not covered in my earlier reply.
Last date to pay Profession Tax for the financial year 2011-2012 is 30.6.2011. If you already have Profession Tax Code, the you can pay Rs.2,500 by Cheque drawn on the same bank, where you are paying the Profession Tax, or by cash. I am having my Savings Account in State Bank, and I pay there my Profession Tax by Cheque of that Bank, drawn in the bank’s name. This gives an entry in your pass book, for paying your Profession Tax.
When you attain age of 65 years, no Profession Tax is payable. For example, in June 2011, you are paying profession Tax for the financial year 2011-2012. if you are completing your 65 years of age in the period 1.4.2011 to 31.3.2012, then, from June 2012, you need not pay you;r profession tax.

This is a part of the circular no .6T of 2003, dated 22nd January, 2003
This shows that the person attaining 65 years is exempted from the next financial year than the year in which he attains 65 years
”
The corrections/changes in records of tax payer may become necessary due to one or more of the following causes:—
The Enrolled person has attained the age of 65 years and has become entitled to exemption from Profession Tax as a senior citizen. However the Senior Citizen will be liable to pay the tax for the financial year in which he/she attains the age of 65 years and would be exempted from the next financial year.
”
I dont know whther this has been changed of corrected in any other circular
Jitendra,
you either need to show your employer that you have made payment of Rs. 2500/- or let him deduct the amount of PT from your salary as long as you are gonna work and get your PTEC number cancelled.
65 is the last age upto which 1 needs to pay his PTEC. After completing 65 yrs, i.e. when he attains 66 yrs of age, he shall not be liable anymore for payment of PTEC in his name.
TDS @ 10% what your institute is deducting under Income Tax Act. Profession Tax is different from Income Tax and it has no relation with each other. Payment of PT from your income is still a must.
What your sales tax consultant is paying is your personal PTE payment and not for any worker not employed in your company. What he is doing is absolutely correct.
if the person gets a certificate of handicap from government authorized hospital, he shall get full exemption from payment of PT. Even his Employer need not deduct any amount of PT from his/her salary if the certificate is kept on recrods
Profession Tax is attracted in the State from which the salary is paid to the employee no matter where the employee is located. In Maharashtra, PT is attracted on salaries paid in/from maharashtra. So, if your HO is located in Maharashtra and paying you salary from Maharashtra and even if you are in some another state where PT is not attracted, PT will be still deducted from your salary
PT for Proprietor / Partners / directors / Pvt Ltd. Co – Rs. 2500/- respectively.
No PT to be paid for the Firm if it is a proprietary firm.
No PT to be paid in the name of the Partnership Firm
Directors and Pvt. Ltd Co. are 2 different entities in the eyes of the law so for all the directors as well as PT for the Company needs to be paid – Rs. 2500/- individually
due date for payment of PTE is 30th June of each year.
