Professional Tax Dilemma: Which State Gets the Payment When Offices Are in Different States?

Professional Tax Payment: State Jurisdiction

Where the employer has a registered office in Tamil Nadu and the place of business is in Karnataka, to which state should the professional tax be paid?

Hi, this needs to be remitted where the employees are working. If you have no employees in Tamil Nadu, then you can remit only the employer contribution and the Company Tax amount.

Hi, regardless of the office being registered anywhere, you need to pay taxes in the state where the employees are working, even if you have an office in Karnataka. Please visit the Commercial Tax Department for assistance on this matter.

If you have business locations in both states, then you should enroll and remit Professional Tax (PT) in both states. The reason is that PT is a state act, and each state has different slabs and contributions. If you need any information for Bangalore, I can surely help.
