Professional Tax is a state-level statutory obligation applicable to employers, employees, professionals, and business entities. In Gujarat, it is governed under the Gujarat State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1976.
Employers are required to deduct Professional Tax (PT) from eligible employees and deposit it with the State Government within prescribed timelines. Failure to comply may result in penalties, interest, and legal proceedings.
At Legit Advisory, we provide structured, end-to-end Professional Tax compliance solutions to ensure your organization remains fully compliant and audit-ready.
