13 November 2009 Can someone assist me on this. I have a client who has not paid Profession Tax from the year 2001 as he went to US in that year and from then his status was that of a Non Resident. Is he liable to pay Profession Tax ? What is the procedure he needs to follow for surrendering PT No.?

14 November 2009 He is liable to Professional Tax, it does not make any difference since he was the resident Indian when the liability of Professional Tax attracted.

Now, he has to deposit Professional Tax along with the Interest as applicable. Moreover, the PT return showing -Nil- PT liability is also required to be filed with assessing authorities for subsequent years till the year of surrender of the PT registration.
