The Schedule and the Exemptions
Chapter Twenty-Three
Syllabus topic 1, "Registration of business under The Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Acts, 1975."
Pages 58 to 60 of 80
Two provisions, and both are asked
Schedule I says who pays and how much. Section 27A says who does not pay at all. A question on liability is not fully answered without both.
Schedule I, read as a system
Section 3(2) charges a person "falling under one or the other of the classes mentioned in the second column of Schedule I ... at the rate mentioned against the classes of such person in the third column".
So the Schedule has two columns that matter: a class of persons, and a rate.
Entry 1 is the only entry with slabs. Every other entry that touches a business or a profession charges a flat Rs. 2,500 per annum, which is the ceiling in the first proviso to section 3(1) and under Article 276 of the Constitution.
Entry 1, salary and wage earners
| Monthly salary or wages | Tax |
|---|---|
| Men, not exceeding Rs. 7,500 | Nil |
| Men, exceeding Rs. 7,500 but not exceeding Rs. 10,000 | Rs. 175 per month |
| Men, exceeding Rs. 10,000 | Rs. 200 per month except February, Rs. 300 for February, being Rs. 2,500 a year |
| Women, not exceeding Rs. 25,000 | Nil |
| Women, exceeding Rs. 25,000 | Rs. 200 per month except February, Rs. 300 for February, being Rs. 2,500 a year |
Entry 1A charges persons notified under section 4B at Rs. 2,500 per annum.
Two features to name. The exemption limit for women is Rs. 25,000 against Rs. 7,500 for men. And the February instalment is Rs. 300, so that eleven months at Rs. 200 and one at Rs. 300 come to exactly Rs. 2,500.
