Overview
Professional Tax (PT) is a state-level tax levied on income earned by individuals through employment, profession, trade, or calling. It is governed by the respective state's Professional Tax Act and applies to both employers (who deduct PT from employee salaries) and self-employed professionals.
Not all states levy professional tax — it's applicable in states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and others. The maximum professional tax payable is ₹2,500 per year as per constitutional limits.
Big4India handles your state-specific Professional Tax registration, sets up the correct slab-based deduction for your employees, and ensures timely filing — because state tax rules vary widely and getting it wrong means penalties.
