We are a manufacturing company based in Gujarat. We are planning to establish our new warehouse at a different location, either by renting, leasing, or purchasing the space. Accordingly, we need to obtain the shop & establishment license for this new warehouse.

Query on Employer Professional Tax Registration (PTEC)

I have a query regarding whether we should apply for a separate Employer Professional Tax Registration (PTEC) or not. It's important to note that we do not intend to hire any employees specifically for this warehouse.

I would appreciate it if you could assist me in resolving this query.

Thank you.

Profession Tax and New Location Considerations

Profession Tax is state-based. If the new location/branch is within the same state, then the present registration would get amended with the inclusion of the new location. However, if it is in another state, then the applicability depends on the destination state's PT rules.

Under the Shops and Establishments Act, it is compulsory to obtain a new license when operating from a different address location.

Professional tax rates depend on the norms and rules of the concerned state. It is essential to adhere to these regulations for a secure and compliant business operation.

Thank you.

Need for Local Employees and Professional Tax License for New Warehouse

It is not possible to avoid engaging a single employee further after launching a warehouse in a different place or state. Usually, a warehouse definitely needs a local watchman, at least since the beginning of the construction of the warehouse. Even though you hire, it definitely needs a watchman, even if you have security guards from your own company.

I think you surely need local employees for the new warehouse, so a new professional tax license is essential, I think. Based on the little information given by you.
