10 August 2024 For Professional Tax (PT) renewal in Karnataka, especially if your trust has multiple branches, here's how the fee typically works:

### **Professional Tax Registration and Renewal**

1. **Single Registration for Multiple Branches:**
- If your trust has a single registration for all its branches, you generally need to pay the Professional Tax renewal fee for that single registration, not for each branch separately. In your case, if the renewal fee is ₹2,500, you would typically pay ₹2,500 for the entire registration.

2. **Branches and Professional Tax:**
- The fee applies to the entire entity and not per branch. Even though you have multiple branches, the PT registration is for the trust as a whole, so the renewal fee is generally charged once for the whole organization under that registration number.

### **Procedure:**

1. **Verify Registration Details:**
- Ensure that your registration with the Karnataka Professional Tax authorities is up-to-date and correctly reflects all your branches.

2. **Paying the Renewal Fee:**
- For renewal, you usually pay the fee based on the registration number, not per branch. Therefore, if you have a single registration for the entire trust with multiple branches, you should pay the renewal fee of ₹2,500.

3. **Confirm with Local Authorities:**
- To be certain of the correct procedure and fee amount, you should confirm with the Karnataka State Professional Tax Department or consult their official website. They can provide specific guidance based on the number of branches and the structure of your registration.

4. **Documentation:**
- Keep all documentation related to your registration and renewal, including the payment receipt, for future reference and compliance.

### **Summary:**

Since you have a single PT registration for your trust, the renewal fee is likely ₹2,500 for the entire registration, regardless of the number of branches. Always confirm with the local Professional Tax authorities to ensure compliance and accuracy.
