PF Return Filing

Professional Tax Return Filing

What is Professional Tax?

Professional Tax (PT) is a state-level tax imposed on individuals earning an income through salary, trade, or profession. It applies to both employers and employees and must be deducted at source by the employer before salary disbursement.
The tax is governed by each state’s Municipal Corporation or Commercial Tax Department, and rates, due dates, and return requirements vary across states. The maximum annual professional tax liability, as per the Constitution of India, is capped at ₹ 2,500 per person per year.

Who Must File Professional Tax Returns?

Employers: Every business, company, or entity that employs staff must register for PT and deduct the tax from employee salaries each month.
Employees: Individuals receiving salary or wages are liable to pay PT through their employer.
Self-Employed Professionals: Chartered Accountants, Doctors, Lawyers, Architects, Consultants, and Freelancers must register and pay professional tax annually for themselves.

Non-payment or delayed filing can lead to interest, penalties, or even prosecution under applicable state laws.

Professional Tax Return Filing Process

Step 1: Professional Tax Registration
Agarwal Avinash & Co helps businesses obtain PTEC (Employer Registration Certificate) and PTRC (Employee Registration Certificate) from the respective state departments.

Step 2: Salary Data Preparation
Our team compiles employee-wise salary and deduction data in line with state-wise slab rates and exemptions.

Step 3: Tax Payment
The calculated tax amount is paid online to the respective state treasury, and challans are generated for record keeping.

Step 4: Return Filing
Professional tax returns are filed monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on state regulations. Our experts handle portal logins, filings, and acknowledgements on your behalf.

Step 5: Audit & Compliance Report
Post-filing, you receive challans, filing acknowledgments, and reconciliation statements for audit and compliance documentation.
