What is Professional Tax Registration?

Professional Tax is a state-imposed tax collected from businesses and professionals. Individuals earning a salary or practicing professions such as Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, Lawyers, and similar fields are required to pay this tax. Employers, professionals, and traders fall under the scope of registration for Professional Tax.

The tax is generally deducted from employees’ salaries and can later be claimed as a deduction while computing taxable income. Employers and business owners must register with the respective Municipal Corporation to comply with this requirement. Since it is state-specific, the tax rates and registration procedures vary across states. There are primarily two types of registrations: PTEC (Professional Tax Enrollment Certificate) and PTRC (Professional Tax Registration Certificate).
