Quick Summary

This discussion addresses Professional Tax (PT) registration and payment in Karnataka for long-standing businesses. It clarifies that PT registration is mandatory if income exceeds ₹15,000 per month (or ₹21,000 from April 2023). Even if previously exempt, businesses with Service Tax or GST registration since 2016 are advised to enrol for PT from their Service Tax registration date. The post also suggests checking the Karnataka State Commercial Tax department website for amendments and potential benefits under the Karasamadhana scheme for penalty and fine waivers.

Many notices are received based on the service tax and GST registrations.

So if you have Service Tax Reg/ GST registration then you must enroll or Pay PT employer.

Since you have registered in 2016 , you must have enrolled for PT Employer from the date of service tax registration
