Professional Tax Registration

What Is Professional Tax Registration?

Professional Tax (PT) is a state-imposed tax on income earned by professionals, employees, traders, and businesses. It is governed by the respective state governments and varies across states in India. Employers deduct professional tax from employees' salaries and remit it to the state government. Businesses, professionals, and self-employed individuals are also required to pay professional tax.

Professional Tax Registration ensures compliance with state laws, avoiding penalties for non-payment or delayed payments.
