Yes. Section 16 (iii) of the Income Tax Act 1961, the profession tax paid by an employee is allowed as a deduction from his/her gross salary income.

Advance salary received by an employee is taxed in the year of receipt. Municipal taxes for house property are allowed if they are borne and actually paid by the owner. Similarly is this employment tax, as it is specifically given in the act
