What is Professional Tax?
Professional Tax (PT) is a state-level tax levied on professions, trades, callings, and employment. In India, it is mandatory for individuals and entities earning an income—whether as an employee or a business owner—to register and pay this tax to their respective state governments. Each state has its own slabs and rules for PT collection.
Who Needs to Register?
Every business entity and professional must understand these two critical categories.
