Tamilnadu Tax on Profession clearly states " a Govt. servant receiving pay from the revenue of the Central Govt. or any State Govt. which means Govt. runs professional undertakings. For e.g. BSNL, GAIL, SAIL, ONGC, LIC etc. An employee of Department of Posts should not be charged under professional tax as the Department of Posts is a service department not earning its income.
Professional Tax - Income derived from a profession. How a Government servant is covered under this?
Is it not amount to double taxation? Salaried income is already charged under Income Tax and the same income is covered under Professional Tax of State Govt.
Send your valuable suggestions please.
