What is Professional Tax?

Professional Tax (PT) is a tax levied by state governments in India on individuals earning income through employment, profession, or trade. Despite its name, it is not just for "professionals" like doctors or lawyers but applies to salaried employees and business owners as well.

Employers must register for PT to deduct tax from their employees' salaries (PTRC) and pay it to the government. Business owners and self-employed individuals must also pay professional tax on their own income (PTEC). The tax amount varies by state and income slab, capped at ?2,500 per year per person.

Why Professional Tax Registration?

Legal Mandate

It is a statutory requirement for employers and professionals in applicable states. Non-compliance invites penalties.

Minimal Cost

The tax amount is nominal (max ?2,500/year), making it an easy-to-comply regulation without financial burden.

Smooth Operations

Having PT registration prevents legal hassles from state authorities, ensuring smooth business continuity.

Business Credibility

Tax Deductions

Recent amendments allow professional tax paid to be claimed as a deduction under the Income Tax Act.
