Professional Tax Registration in Telangana
Professional tax is a state tax on professions, trades, callings and employment. In Telangana it is levied under the Telangana Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1987. Employers must deduct professional tax from employees' salaries and pay it to the state, while many businesses and professionals must also pay professional tax for themselves. Naresh Pokala & Company handles professional tax registration and returns for businesses in Hyderabad and across Telangana.
Who Needs Professional Tax Registration?
