Profession tax

if I am practicing as a CA then I have to pay tax but I have employees who receive salary then I have to deduct profession tax from their salary also...is it right???

1. from my professional income
2. by deducting tax from salary of my employees

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around Profession Tax for practising Chartered Accountants (CAs). It confirms that CAs must pay Profession Tax on their professional income. Additionally, if a CA employs staff whose salaries exceed a certain threshold, they are required to deduct the prescribed Profession Tax from their employees' salaries and remit it to the government. This is not considered paying tax twice, as the CA pays their own professional tax, and the deducted amount is the employee's liability.

Yes, As a Practicing CA you have to pay PT.
And if you have a Employees to whom you pay salary above certain limit then you have to deduct prescribed amount of PT from their salary and requires to deposit it with Goverment.

it's not twice...
You Paid Your PT as Professionals.
And You deducted PT from Salary of Employee, that's Employee's PT.. Employee will get Deduction from Salary income while filing his/her Income tax return.
So, You are not paying twice..
Okay...got it..thanks a lot sir...
Most welcome....
