What is professional tax?
Professional tax is a tax on professions, trades, callings and employment levied by certain state governments (and, in some states such as Kerala, by local bodies) under Article 276 of the Constitution. The maximum amount payable by any person is capped at ₹2,500 per year.
Who needs to register?
- Employers in states that levy professional tax must register, deduct professional tax from employees’ salaries and deposit it with the state.
- Self-employed professionals, traders and business owners must register and pay professional tax for themselves in most of these states.
States that levy professional tax include Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and several others. Rates and due dates vary by state.
Consequences of non-compliance
Late registration, non-deduction or late payment can attract penalties and interest under the state law. Employers remain liable for tax they should have deducted.
