What is Professional Tax?
Professional Tax (PT) is a state-level tax levied on salaried employees, professionals, traders, and business entities. The tax is deducted monthly from the salary and remitted to the respective state government.
It is mandatory for employers to deduct and deposit PT on behalf of employees and for self-employed individuals to register and pay based on their income.
Professional Tax is applicable in states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, West Bengal, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, and more.
Advantages of Professional Tax Registration
- Mandatory Legal Compliance
Avoid legal penalties by complying with the State PT Act.
- Nominal Tax Rate
Professional tax rates are minimal (₹200–₹2,500 annually), yet non-compliance can attract high fines.
- Employer Reputation & Transparency
Shows your commitment to lawful operations and employee responsibility.
- Required for Business Licenses
Essential for various business certifications, tenders, and government work.
- Simple & Periodic Filing
Once registered, only monthly or annual returns need to be filed as per your state.
- Deductible Expense
PT paid by employers is a deductible business expense under the Income Tax Act.
Disadvantages of Ignoring PT Registration
- Hefty Penalties for Non-Registration
Fines can range from ₹5/day to ₹1,000/month depending on the state.
- Legal Consequences
Non-compliance can lead to audits, prosecution, and delays in business operations.

You may be held liable for failure to deduct or deposit PT on behalf of employees.
