Professional tax will be depending on the net salary .Suppose for Rs . 10,000 I need to deduct Rs. 80 only. If the salary is 15000 according to that slab only we need to deduct the professional tax.

Dear All,
We are a company based in Maharashtra and we have a branch office in Jharkhand. We have taken ESIC SUB-CODE at Jharkhand. The salaries are generated from Maharashtra.
Do we have to deduct Professional tax of these employees and if yes, do you have to consider the slab as per Maharashtra or Jharkhand. If Jharkhand, then can someone please provide the Professional Tax Slab for Jharkhand ?
Thanks,

Dear Grettapl,
ESI and Profession tax are two different statutes. For your information Profession tax is a source of revenue for the local Muncipality/ Corporation. ESI is a Central act and is payable for benefits extended.
To answer your query. You are required to deduct Profession tax in the respective place where the employees are working. In your case Jharkand.
