Karnataka Professional Tax

I am a GST Composition dealer. Sole Proprietor. Business: Website. No employees. I manage the website.

Last year, Commercial Taxes Dept. emailed me notification to pay Rs.2500 as Karnataka Professional Tax, via vat.kar.nic.in website. (I had not registered for KPT. But the commercial tax department has my data from GST registration.)

Questions:

1) I have NO employees. So I am not an employer. But I am the sole proprietor for my biz. Am I liable to pay Karnataka Professional Tax? 

2) I still have not registered for KPT thru e-Prerana. But paid KPT via  vat.kar.nic.in  filling my GSTIN number. I got a CTD reference number for successful payment. Is it ok or should I file returns in e-Prerana even if I have no employees? Please advise. 

Thanks
