Professional Tax is a state-level tax levied on all kinds of professions, trades, and employment. It is managed by the Commercial Tax Department of the respective state and is mandatory for both employers and self-employed professionals.
Depending on your business structure, you may require one or both of the following certificates:
Required by the Business Entity itself (Company, Firm, or individual Professional) to pay its own tax.
Required by the Employer to deduct tax from employees' salaries and deposit it with the government.
Failure to register or pay Professional Tax can result in a penalty ranging from ₹2 per day to 10% of the tax amount, depending on the state (e.g., Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, etc.).
