What is Professi​o​nal Tax?

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.
