I am a salaried individual and my employer deducts professional tax of 2500 every year. The same is deductible under Salary head while filing IT Return.
Now if I were to start freelancing activity, wherein if I were to setup proprietorship firm with UDHYAM, trade licence, GST etc. do I need to additionally enrol myself in professional tax? I am asking the query since I am already paying professional tax as salaried individual. Do i need to pay two times? My PAN should already be recorded. Moreover, I have heard that those who have registered under GST in West Bengal would need to pay professional tax, irrespective of turnover. Is that true? What will be the implications?
