Try to avoid this. Better import Tkinter. And don't forget to import
Tkconstants too!

Why do you use three frames? You only need one. And you can make your
class TaxCalc inherit from Tkinter.Frame ...

I haven't found the reason for that, but this should work. I also added
MRABs version of printResult().

import Tkinter, Tkconstants

class TaxCalc(Tkinter.Frame):

	def __init__(self, root):
		
		Tkinter.Frame.__init__(self, root)

		Tkinter.Button(self,
			text='Enter tax rate',
			command=self.getRate).pack()	

		self.rate=Tkinter.Entry(self)
		self.rate.pack()

		Tkinter.Button(self,
			text='Enter income',
			command=self.getIncome).pack()	

		self.income=Tkinter.Entry(self)
		self.income.pack()

		Tkinter.Button(self,
			text='Get result',
			command=self.printResult).pack()	

		self.result=Tkinter.Entry(self)
		self.result.pack()

		self.pack()

	def getRate(self):
		print "srate: ", self.rate.get()
	
	def getIncome(self):
		print "sincome: ", self.income.get()

	def printResult(self):
		try:
			rate = float(self.rate.get())
			income = float(self.income.get())
			result = ((100.0 - rate) / 100.0) * income
			self.result.insert(Tkconstants.END, str(result))
		except ValueError:
			print "Clear everything and start again."
			print "Don't fool around with me."

root=Tkinter.Tk()
MyCalc=TaxCalc(root)
root.mainloop()
