Professional tax registration, state by state
Professional tax is levied by state governments, and every state does it differently - different slabs, different filing cycles, different forms. If you have employees in a state that levies it, you need to register, deduct, and pay. We handle it for each of your states.

Overview
What professional tax is
Professional tax is a state-level tax on professions, trades, and employment, levied by many (not all) Indian states.
Employers deduct it from employee salaries based on state-prescribed slabs and pay it to the state government.
Each state has its own registration process, rates, payment cycles, and returns - there is no single national system.
Both the employer (as an entity) and the employees typically need enrollment under the state's professional tax law.
Benefits
Why employers register professional tax through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Your state's rules, not generic advice
Professional tax is a state subject - rates, slabs, and filing cycles differ everywhere. We work from your state's actual rules.
Full cycle handled
Registration, monthly deductions, periodic payments, annual returns - the full cycle for each state where you have employees.
Multi-state expansion covered
Expanding to a new state? We register you there before your first payroll runs.
Bundled with labour registrations
Professional tax registration often triggers alongside Shops and Establishment registration. We handle both together.
Documents

It varies by state - some states levy it, some don't. We confirm your state's position before you spend anything on registration.
The employer deducts it from salaries and pays it to the state government. Rates depend on salary slabs set by each state.
No - each state where you have employees needs its own registration. Multi-state employers manage multiple registrations.
It depends on the state - monthly, quarterly, or annual payment cycles exist. We set up the right rhythm for each of your states.
Late payments attract interest and penalties under state law. If you have arrears, we help you regularise them.
Yes - professional tax is deductible under the Income Tax Act, and employers claim it as a business expense.
No. Professional tax applies to salaried employees and professionals; it is separate from GST, income tax, and Shops and Establishment registration.
