The profession tax rate applicable for the mth. of Feb i.e. salary of Feb paid in March is Rs.300/- .  But one of my collegue accountant is arguing on this. She is saying we have to deduct Rs.300/- for salary payable for Jan. I asked her that the salary of Feb paid in Mar attract PT Rs.300/- as uptill now I deducted the same for previous years. But still she is not agreeing with me. I know I am 101% right. How to proof her this fact ?
