Starting a Business in Hyderabad: How Do We Register for Professional Tax Payments?

Hi, we started a new company in Hyderabad. As of now, we have not deducted any amount from the employees' salaries towards Professional Tax. What kind of registration is required to pay the Professional Tax amount to the government? Kindly let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hi Srinivas,

In this matter, you may seek guidance from a tax consultant. You need to obtain the registration certificate number for your company and then for the staff. The registration forms will be available at PT offices.

I am sharing my experience on this issue. In Mumbai, we obtained the employee code from the Professional Tax office by filling out the registration form and providing copies of the following documents:
1. Memorandum of Association
2. Certificate of Incorporation

Hi Srinivas,

You might want to contact a tax consultant in this case. But based on the little knowledge I have, here are the important points:

1. The registration forms will be available at the commercial tax office.
2. You would have to fill out this form and submit the following documents at the same office:
A. Memorandum of articles
B. Board resolution for authorized signatory
C. If it is a new establishment, then the lease agreement for the premises being occupied
D. Number of directors
E. Number of employees
F. Registration fees of Rs 2,500.00 per director

You will be issued a registration certificate. From that month onwards, you can submit the challan based on the slabs for the deduction of PT. Normally, this should be done before the 20th of every month, although there is no pay-by date as per the act.

Thanks and Regards,
Siva

Hi everybody, we are a partnership firm engaged in the business of manufacturing beds. My firm has had VAT and CST registration since 2007, but we are not registered for professional tax, and we have not paid any PT previously, nor are we deducting any PT from our employees. We are now planning to register for PT. Kindly let me know if we have to pay PT from 2007 or from the current date.

This is Srinivas from Hyderabad, and I need clarification about Professional Tax. We enrolled our firm under the Professional Tax Act in 2011 at Srinagar Colony Circle. Now, in April 2015, our office has been shifted to the Madhapur area, Hyderabad, Telangana.

Professional Tax Payment Circle

My doubt is: Should we continue with the same circle for Professional Tax payment, or do we need to apply for a transfer to Madhapur? If a transfer is required, what would be the procedure?

In fact, I was told that we need to cancel the registration at the current circle and apply for a new one at the Madhapur circle. I request any of you to please clarify my doubt in this regard.

Anticipating your reply.

Hi,

We started a new company with a team size of 5 in Andhra Pradesh. To my knowledge, PF/ESIC won't be applicable due to the small number of employees. I have a small doubt: is Professional Tax applicable? What are the eligibility criteria for Professional Tax, and is there a specific limit for PT deduction (e.g., the minimum number of employees required for PT deduction)? Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you,
