Currently we are deducting Professional Tax on the following slab:
Gross Salary less than Rs.3000/- - Nil
Gross Salary more than Rs.3000/- but less than Rs.5000/- -
Gross Salary more than Rs.5000/- but less than Rs.8000/- - Rs.60/-
Gross Salary more than Rs.8000/- but less than Rs.10000/- - Rs.100/-
Gross Salary more than Rs.10000/- but less than Rs.15000/- - Rs.150/-
Gross Salary more than Rs.15000/- - Rs.200/-
While calculating the Gross Salary, we are also adding the Bonus payable per month to the Gross Salary. Hence the PT is deducted at a higher slab.
Bonus is paid to the employee once a year. Should we take the Bonus payable once a year as Bonus paid every month and deduct PT in higher slabs. Or is it sufficient if we deduct higher PT in the month in which the Bonus is paid.
Please clarify.
We also understand that the above slabs have changed w.e.f. 01.08.2008. Please confirm the slabs. In case there is a change in slab, should we pay the deductions made as per the old slab or can we make the payment as per the new slab.
Kindly can you inform here in the forum about the new slabs?
Alternatively please provide me the link to your file.
Thanks.
