10 May 2012 Any person carrying on business or profession is liable to pay Profession Tax for himself. The amount of Profession tax will depend upon the turnover of the business. But will range from Rs. 2000 to Rs. 2500.
However, in the case mentioned above, the proprietor shall not be liable for Profession Tax of employees. Only his own profession tax.
