Sir,
We have employees working in five cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Hyderabad, but the payroll for all our employees is processed in Chennai. Kindly clarify the following:
1. Is Chennai Corporation Profession Tax applicable to employees working in other states?
2. If it is not applicable, do we need to deduct and remit the professional tax applicable to those states?
Thank you.

Please provide more details. Do you have separate offices at different locations? If so, have you obtained licenses under the Shop & Establishment Act of the respective states?
If you have branch offices at different locations and are registered under the Shop & Establishment Act or Factories Act, you must obtain the Enrollment and Registration Certificate under the respective state's Profession Tax.

Professional Tax and Local Jurisdiction
Professional tax is levied by local bodies from residents practicing any profession and thereby earning income within their territorial jurisdiction. Therefore, the professional tax due for the Chennai Municipal Corporation need not be deducted from employees of your branches located elsewhere.
The professional tax due to the place of work needs to be deducted and paid over to the respective local body by the concerned paymaster or by the head office in case of centralized payment of salaries to all employees of the company.

From India, Salem

Hi, Umakanthan.M
Our company is a Pune-based company, and one of the employees has been working from home (in Gujrat) since his appointment. We are currently paying Professional Tax under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings, and Employments Act of 1975.
Is this correct, or do we need to pay Professional Tax to the Gujarat State?
