Talk to a Professional Tax ExpertWhat is Professional Tax Registration?
Professional tax is a state-level tax levied on income earned from a profession, trade, calling or employment. It is administered by individual state governments, so the rates, slabs and rules vary, and the total amount payable per person in a year is capped at a statutory limit.
Two registrations are usually involved: a Professional Tax Enrolment Certificate (PTEC) for the business or professional, and a Professional Tax Registration Certificate (PTRC) for employers who deduct the tax from employees' salaries. It commonly accompanies other setups such as Shop Act registration and startup registration. For the service-focused view, see our PT registration services.
Who Should Register for Professional Tax?
- Employers who pay salaries and must deduct professional tax (PTRC).
- Businesses and professionals liable to pay their own professional tax (PTEC).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is professional tax registration?
It is registration with the state tax department for professional tax, a state levy on income from a profession, trade or employment, typically involving a PTEC for the business and a PTRC for employers.
Is professional tax applicable in every state?
No. Professional tax is a state subject and only some states levy it, with different slabs and rules; states that do not levy it have no registration requirement.
What is the difference between PTEC and PTRC?
PTEC is the enrolment certificate for the business or professional to pay its own professional tax, while PTRC is the registration that lets an employer deduct professional tax from employees' salaries and deposit it.
Is there a maximum professional tax amount?
Yes. The total professional tax payable by a person in a financial year is capped at a statutory limit, though the slabs leading up to it vary by state.
When is professional tax payable?
Payment frequency and due dates depend on the state and on whether you are paying enrolment tax or remitting employee deductions; we set up the correct schedule for you.
Do I need both PTEC and PTRC?
If you run a business and also employ staff, you typically need both — PTEC for the entity's own liability and PTRC to deduct and deposit employees' professional tax.
