FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the professional tax in Andhra Pradesh?
Professional tax in Andhra Pradesh is a state levy on salaried employees and professionals, deducted monthly by the employer and remitted to the state. It is capped at ₹2,500 per person per year, as it is across India.
Who deducts and pays professional tax?
The employer deducts professional tax from each employee's monthly salary and deposits it with the state, after registering for a PT Enrolment Certificate (EC) and Registration Certificate (RC). Self-employed professionals pay it directly.
Is professional tax the same in every state?
No. Professional tax is a state subject, so the slabs, amounts and due dates differ by state. The one common rule is the ₹2,500 annual ceiling set under Article 276 of the Constitution. Kredily computes the right state PT for every employee automatically.
