This query is : Resolved 

27 April 2022 Our partner is getting salary from another company not from the firm where he is partner. Profession Tax is deducted from his salary as well as being a partner he is paying PT under PTEC.
Means double tax is paid. What he can do to avoid this double deduction.

10 July 2024 To avoid double deduction of Profession Tax (PT) by your partner, who is both receiving a salary from another company and paying PT under PTEC (Profession Tax Enrolment Certificate) as a partner, here are the steps he can consider:

1. **Claim Exemption on Salary PT Deduction:**
- Profession Tax is deducted by employers on salaries based on applicable state laws. Many states provide exemptions from PT if the individual is already paying PT under PTEC. Your partner should check the PT rules applicable in your state.
- He should inform his employer about his status as a partner and provide necessary documentation such as his PTEC certificate or any other documents required by the state PT department to claim exemption from PT deduction on his salary.

2. **Apply for PT Exemption Certificate:**
- In some states, there is provision for obtaining an exemption certificate from the Profession Tax department. This certificate can be shown to the employer to avoid PT deduction on salary.
- Your partner should apply for such an exemption certificate if available in your state and submit it to his employer.

3. **Inform PT Authorities about PTEC Payment:**
- Your partner should ensure that he is registered under PTEC and paying PT as required for being a partner.
- He should maintain proper records of PTEC payments and ensure compliance with PT regulations applicable to partners.

4. **Coordinate with Employers:**
- It's important for your partner to communicate effectively with both his employer and the PT authorities. He should provide necessary proof of PTEC registration and payment to the PT authorities if required.

5. **Seek Professional Advice:**
- If the issue persists or if there are complex rules in your state regarding PT, it may be beneficial for your partner to consult with a tax advisor or a professional who specializes in PT compliance to ensure all requirements are met correctly.

By following these steps, your partner can mitigate the issue of double Profession Tax deduction and ensure compliance with applicable tax regulations.
