Professional Tax Compliance
Simplified and Efficient
Professional Tax is a state‐levied tax on professions, trades, and employment, applicable in most Indian states. Timely registration, accurate return filing, and on-point advisory are crucial to avoid penalties and stay compliant.
What Is Professional Tax?
Statutory Deduction
Levied on salaried employees and self-employed professionals by respective State Governments.
Varied Slabs
Rates and exemption limits differ across states, ranging from ₹150 to ₹2,500 per annum.
Regular Returns
Monthly/Quarterly returns must be filed regularly to declare contributions and payments.
Penalty for Default
Late registration, non-filing, or delayed payment may attract fines up to 10% of the tax due.
