What is Professional Tax?

Professional Tax is a tax levied by state governments in India on individuals earning an income through employment, profession, or trade. It is imposed under the respective State Professional Tax Acts and varies across states in terms of rates and regulations. The tax is typically deducted by employers from employees' salaries and remitted to the state government. For self-employed individuals, professionals, or business owners, it is their responsibility to register and pay Professional Tax directly to the state authorities.

Professional Tax is mandatory in states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, West Bengal, and others where the state government has implemented the tax. The amount varies based on income slabs and state-specific rules, with a maximum cap (e.g., ₹2,500 per annum in Maharashtra). Businesses and self-employed professionals must obtain a Professional Tax Enrollment Certificate (PTEC), while employers deducting tax from employees’ salaries need a Professional Tax Registration Certificate (PTRC).
