I. Introduction to ProfessionTax
The Article 276 of the constitution of India provides that no law of a state legislature relating to
taxes for the benefit of the state or of a municipality, district board, local board or other local
authorities in respect of professions, trades, callings or employments shall be invalid on the
ground that it relates to a tax on income. However the maximum amount payable under such a
tax shall not exceed Rs 2500/- per annum. In 1987 when this Act was enacted the maximum
amount was only Rs 250/- per annum, it has since been enhanced to Rs 2500/-. In K. Shantappa
vs. the Government of A.P. (1989) 8 APSTJ 26 the validity of the A.P. Act was upheld by A.P.
HighCourt.
Neither the Constitution nor the A.P. Act on professions enacted in 1987 defines the
expressions “profession”, “trades”, “callings” & “employments”. The dictionary meaning of the
word “Profession” is a calling or employment, occupation to which one devotes himself the
business which one professes for sustenance. The word calling means occupation, profession
&Trade. Thus all the words employed “Profession”, “trade”, “calling” & “employment” carries
the same meaning they appear to have been used as a measure of abundant caution to ensure
that no particular category of persons gets excluded from thelevy.
II. E-Registration
