Professional Tax depends from state to state as per my knowledge and there are certain requirements to be fulfilled before coming into the purview of Professional tax. Generally PT is a very small payment and everyone oblige to pay the amount.

It is compulsory for payment of PT either by salaried person or self employed depending on the State.  The person whose age is more that 65 years and handicapped person as defined under the respective state laws is exempted from payment of Professional Tax.
