  • A state legislature can impose taxes on professions, trades, callings and employments.
  • But, the total amount of such taxes payable by any person should not exceed Rs. 2,500 per annum.
  • Originally, this limit was only Rs 250 per annum. The 60th Amendment Act of 1988 raised it to Rs. 2,500 per annum.
