Is Professional Tax Deductible?

Yes. Professional Tax paid is deductible under Section 16(iii) of the Income Tax Act — available under both Old and New Tax Regimes. It reduces your gross salary for tax purposes. Maximum deduction: ₹2,500 per year (the constitutional cap on PT).

Who pays Professional Tax — employer or employee?
Both. The employee's PT is deducted from salary. But the employer also pays a separate Employer PT registration fee/tax in states like Maharashtra. The employee's portion is what shows as a deduction on your payslip.
