Professional tax is a tax that is levied by a state government on all individuals who earn a living through any medium. This should not be confused with the definition of professionals that indicates people such as doctors. This is a tax that is to be paid by every single earning individual. The calculation and amount collected may differ from one state to another but it has a limit of Rs. 2500 per year. Why is it different for different people? Since it is a tax that is levied by the state government, it tends to differ from one state to another. Each state has a slab that it declares and the professional tax is deducted based on these slabs. Some states and union territories do not charge professional tax too. How it is paid is by dividing the annual professional tax due into 12 equal installments that are paid every month, except the one paid in February which is higher than the other months.
