The State may impose a professional tax on income earned by profession, trade, or employment. It was first imposed in India in 1949, and the power to levy Professional Tax has been given to the State under clause (2) of Article 276 of the Constitution of India. Depending on the income of the individual, this tax is levied at different slab rates. Professional Tax registration online will provide a flexible option for the employer to comply with state authorities.
The state government collects the professional tax, as opposed to the central government, which collects Income Tax. Each State has its own professional tax rules. Since the rules differ from State to State, each State can set its limits and rates. However, the maximum amount limit has been increased to Rs.2500 per year. Various salary slabs apply to the levying of a professional tax in different states.
State taxes are nominal and structured based on a salary range, thus imposing an insignificant burden on taxpayers.
In the absence of professional tax registration, huge penalties continue to cascade over time.
