Professional Tax is a state-level tax on professions and employment (applicable in Karnataka and most states). Employers need a PTRC to deduct and deposit PT from salaries, and the entity itself needs a PTEC enrollment.
Why is it required?
- Mandatory for every employer paying salaries above the state threshold — non-registration attracts penalties and interest.
- Required during current account opening and statutory audits.
- Monthly/annual PT payments must be made on time; we run this on autopilot.
Documents required
- PAN of entity
- Certificate of Incorporation / Partnership Deed
- Proof of business address
- Employee details and salary structure
- Bank account details

Frequently asked questions
What is the PT amount in Karnataka?
Karnataka levies up to ₹200 per month per employee above the salary threshold, with the entity's own enrollment paid annually.
Is PT applicable to directors and partners?
Yes — directors and partners are generally liable to enroll and pay PT individually. We cover this in the registration.
