Professional tax is a tax levied by the state government on individuals who earn a living through salary. Since it is levied by the state government, each state has a slab, and the professional tax is deducted based on these slabs.

The Profession Tax Slabs page in the greytHR Admin portal displays the professional tax slabs for various states across India. You can filter the tax slabs based on the state, location, and effective date. You can also update the tax slabs for a particular state.

To view the Profession Tax Slabs page, navigate to the Settings icon > System Settings > Payroll > Profession Tax Slabs.

⚠️ We recommend you to contact the greytHR support team before making any changes in settings.
