Professional Tax Applicability Without a Branch Office
I would like to know if there is no branch office in the state where the employees are based and performing their duties, in such a scenario, will the professional tax be applicable?
For example, company ABC has its head office in Mumbai and employees across India. The company has branch offices in Gujarat and West Bengal but not in Karnataka. There are sales employees who are local and hired to operate only from Bangalore (Karnataka).
Now, for Karnataka, is the company liable to deduct professional tax from Karnataka employees as per the Karnataka PT slab where there is no office? If yes, how will the company apply for PT registration in Karnataka without a branch office?
Alternatively, should the company deduct PT as per the Maharashtra slab and deposit the same with the Maharashtra authority? Or should the employer not deduct the PT since there is no branch in Karnataka?
Kindly shed some light on this matter.

To the best of my belief you need to register for PT at Karnataka and deduct the PT for all the employees working in Karnataka, the same has to be deposited at their municipal corporation.

Thanks for your response. But would like to bring your kind notice that there is no branch office at Karnataka and for getting the PT registration the local office address is required. Kindly suggest
