DEAR Sir,
As per PROFESSION TAX ACT, 1975, PTEC Applicable to,-
1. Every Person (Excluding Partnership Firm & HUF).
2. And Engaged actively or otherwise in any profession, trade, calling or Employment.
3. And Covered by Schedule I appended to the Profession Tax Act, 1975.
Therefore, PTEC is applicable if above all 3 conditions are fulfilled.
Charitable trust is covered under above point No. 1, but not covered under point No. 2 , therefore charitable Trust is not liable to pay PTEC Tax.
However if any charitable Trust is engaged in any profession, trade, calling or Employment, then such a charitable Trust is liable to pay PTEC Tax.
Regards,
