Professional Tax by state

Professional Tax is charged by states. There is no national version. Pick the state your business or employee is in to see whether it applies.

Maharashtra, Karnataka and West Bengal show the slab. For the other states that levy PT, the page confirms it applies and gives no figure, because we have not verified one yet.

Need to register? Our Professional Tax registration service prepares and files the application in the state where your business or employees need it.

Tell us which states you work in and we will register your business for Professional Tax in each one that charges it.

Whether a state levies PT is taken from secondary sources that agree with each other. We have not read every state's Act. Two union territories are missing from the list until we have a source for them: Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, and Lakshadweep.
