Professional tax compliances refer to the legal obligations imposed by state governments in India on individuals engaged in professions, trades, callings, or employments. It is a state-level tax, and the rates and regulations vary from one state to another. Employers are responsible for deducting professional tax from the salaries of their employees and depositing it with the respective state government. Self-employed individuals are also required to register themselves and pay professional tax directly to the government. Compliance involves registration, deduction, payment, and filing of returns within the stipulated time frames. Failure to comply with professional tax regulations can result in penalties and legal consequences.
