About Professional Tax

Professional Tax is a state‑level tax levied on professions, trades, callings, and employments. It is imposed by the respective state governments under Article 276 of the Constitution of India. Every person earning an income from profession or employment is liable to pay professional tax, subject to certain thresholds. Employers are required to deduct tax from employees’ salaries and deposit it with the state authorities. Registration under the Professional Tax Act is mandatory for employers and certain individuals to legally comply with state tax laws.

Process: We begin by understanding your business structure and state of operation. Based on whether you are an employer or an individual, we prepare the appropriate application – PTRC (Professional Tax Registration Certificate) for employers and PTEC (Professional Tax Enrollment Certificate) for individuals/sole proprietors. Our experts fill the forms, compile necessary documents, file them with the state tax department, and follow up until you receive your registration certificate. We also guide you on monthly/quarterly returns and payment schedules.
