Profession Tax Registration & Compliance
Professional Tax Registration and Compliance
Professional Tax Registration is mandatory within 30 days of employing staff in a business or, in the case of professionals, 30 days from the start of the practice.
Application for the Registration Certificate should be made to the assessed state tax department within 30 days of employing staff for his business.
If the assessee has more than one place of work, then the application should be made separately to each authority with respect to the place of work under the jurisdiction of that authority.
Due Dates for Professional Tax Payment
If an employer has employed more than 20 employees, he is required to make the payment within 15 days from the end of the month. However, if an employer has less than 20 employees, he is required to pay quarterly (i.e. by the 15th of next month from the end of the quarter).
Professional Tax Return
The Professional Tax Return is to be filed by all the persons having Professional Tax Registration and the due dates for filing of such returns vary from State to State.
