Overview of PT Registration
Professional Tax (PT) registration is a state-level tax in India that applies to individuals earning income through employment, profession, or trade. The tax is mandated by individual state governments and the amount varies from one state to another, with a maximum cap of Rs. 2,500 annually. Employers are responsible for deducting and paying professional tax on behalf of their employees, making them effectively the collecting agents for the government.
The registration for Professional Tax must be completed by the employers if they employ individuals whose earnings are subject to this tax. The process is predominantly managed through state-specific online portals, where businesses can register, file returns, and make payments. Compliance with professional tax regulations is crucial as non-compliance can lead to penalties and fines imposed on the employer.
