What you show as income from salary in ITR-1 is after deduction of PT. So what u can do is to revise the return to show less income [as reduced by PT u/s 16(iii)] and claim refund to that extent.

Oh in that case, you cannot claim deduction in FY 15. PT can be claimed as deduction u/s 16(iii) to the extent it is paid in a FY irrespective of the period for which it is paid. So in this case, you can claim this deduction for next year.

I would like to know more:

1- can i pay professional tax through cheque? if yes, what is written in "favour of" field.

2- can we claim for refund if we paid PT more than 2500/- a year.(in M.P.) or an employee resigns before receiving salary of 180000/-.

Professional tax has to be paid by employer. Why do you want to pay? I think some confusion, what I said is taxable income declared in ITR is after deduction of pt. If income is only 180000 then even if u deduct pt from that, no tax is payable at all in which you can't get any refund. Hope it is clear

Oh ok, in that case, employer has to pay to the PTO of relevant jurisdiction, refer the regn cert for the same. It can be paid by cheque or even online payment is possible i think (but not sure about MP)

Respected Subject Matter Experts,

I have recently opened a proprietorship Company in Maharashtra. The Shops & Establishments License was obtained in FY15 whereas the VAT registration was done in FY16. I was told that PT registration is mandatory for VAT registration due to which I applied for PT too.

The tax officer in his certificate of registration for PT, has raised a demand for payment of PT for FY15 (along with tax + interest + penalty), FY16 (along with tax + interest + penalty) and every year henceforth.

My concern is in order to commence operations of my trade, I was required to obtain VAT number. My trade business operations have not even commenced yet. My / said proprietorship company is not having any employees except for me as an owner (without any salary).

In view of above:

1) Should I be required to pay any PT? If not, how should I formulate a reply to the demand notice of the tax officer?

2) Or, can I seek a refund or exemption on income tax to be paid while filing/in my personal income tax return against this PT paid?

Thanking you in advance,

With regards,

Aashish Agarwal.

It seems the demand notice that you have received is towards annual renewal charges for PT enrolment. This has to be paid irrespective of the fact whether there are employees are not.
Such charges paid can be claimed as business related expenditure from the income of proprietorship concern
