overview
What is Professional Tax Registration?
Professional Tax is levied by the Tamil Nadu state government on salaried employees, professionals, freelancers, and business entities. Employers must deduct and remit Professional Tax on behalf of their employees. Non-compliance attracts penalties.
PTEC (Professional Tax Enrollment Certificate) is required for individual professionals and sole proprietors, while PTRC (Professional Tax Registration Certificate) is required for employers with salaried staff. Filing is done through the Tamil Nadu Commercial Taxes Department portal. Swasthik Capitals handles registration, PT number allotment, and monthly or quarterly return filing.
