Self-employed, salaried individuals and companies are liable to pay profession tax on their income in Maharashtra. The profession tax slab rates are decided by the state government with an upper cap of Rs. 2500 per annum. If you are a salaried individual, the profession tax will be automatically deducted from your salary and the aggregate tax shall be paid by the employer. However, in the case of non- salaried individuals, it can be paid online.
The Maharashtra Profession Act (1975) has provisions for the imposition of a penalty in case of non-payment of the profession tax by any liable entity. However, in order to pay the profession tax, one needs to obtain an Enrollment Certificate.
