Professional taxes have been asked to pay by employers and employees to government as it their major source of generating revenues to run the government machinery. Being a salary class person, I believe that each country have their own combination of the taxes to have income.

In our country, we are paying taxes on Provident Fund contributions, overall yearly salary to review against the tax slab (slabs for male and females) wealth tax are few examples. I think Hanna define it in much details as it from finance sector.

Professional tax is a tax charged on professionals' salaries by govenments. Tax withheld for the salaries of prfesionals such as doctors, lawyers, accountants and others should be forwarded to the government within a specified time period. Other taxes imposed on salaries are considered withholdings to be dealt with in the same manner. In some countries, the profesional tax does not exist.
