What it is
PT Return, explained in plain English.
Professional tax is a tax levied by state governments on income from employment, profession or trade, capped at ₹2,500 per person per year. Employers deduct it from employees' salaries under a PTRC (Professional Tax Registration Certificate) registration and pay their own liability under a PTEC (Professional Tax Enrolment Certificate). Slabs, rates, due dates and filing frequency differ from state to state - some monthly, some annual. We handle registration and filing under the specific rules of your state.
TL;DR
We compute your state's professional tax, file the PTRC return for employee deductions and the PTEC for your own liability, on whatever cycle your state mandates.
