A state tax that every employer and professional should know
Professional tax is a small tax levied by the State on salaried employees, professionals and businesses. In Jharkhand it is governed by the Jharkhand State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 2011.
Employers must register, deduct the tax from employees’ salaries and deposit it, while professionals and businesses without employees may need to enrol and pay it themselves. We take care of registration, calculation, payment and returns.
Who must register
- Employers with employees whose pay is above the taxable slabs

Common questions
Who must pay professional tax in Jharkhand?
Salaried employees, professionals, traders and businesses covered by the Jharkhand Professions Act, 2011, based on slabs set by the State. Employers deduct it from salaries.
What is the difference between registration and enrolment?
Employers register to deduct tax from employees. Professionals and businesses who pay the tax themselves are enrolled. We handle whichever applies.
How much is professional tax?
It depends on the salary or income slab. The State sets the slabs, and the law caps the maximum amount per year. We calculate the right tax for each employee.
What if I have not registered yet?
Register as soon as possible. Late registration and late payment can attract interest and penalties, and we can help you regularise.
Do I need GST or shop registration first?
Not necessarily. Professional tax has its own registration. We check what other registrations you need.
