Professional Tax is a state-imposed tax levied on salaried employees, self-employed individuals, and professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and chartered accountants. It is deducted by employers from employees' salaries and remitted to the respective state government as per applicable Professional Tax Slabs, which vary across different states in India. The tax is governed by state-specific laws and must be paid regularly to ensure statutory compliance and avoid penalties.

Industries like manufacturing, retail, logistics, e-commerce, and facility management services (FMS) must ensure accurate deduction and timely payment of Professional Tax for their employees. For businesses managing contract workers, gig employees, apprentices, and blue-collar workforce, automated payroll systems help in seamless tax calculations, compliance tracking, and hassle-free remittance. By integrating HR and payroll software, companies can simplify tax management, reduce manual errors, and ensure full regulatory compliance.
