If PT is already being deducted on salary, the same individual should generally not be required to pay PT again separately only because he also has a proprietorship. Under the Karnataka PT Act, if a person is covered by more than one entry, the highest applicable rate is to be applied. However, if the proprietorship has employees, then employer-side PT registration/compliance may still be required for deduction and payment of PT on employees’ salaries.
