Frequently Asked Questions: Andhra Pradesh Professional Tax

Salaries up to ₹15,000/month are exempt. From ₹15,001 to ₹20,000 the deduction is ₹150/month, and above ₹20,000 it is ₹200/month, capping the year at ₹2,400.
The slab rates are identical, because both states inherited the undivided Andhra Pradesh Act of 1987. Registration and filing are still separate, since they are now two states with two departments.
Employers must remit deducted professional tax by the 10th of the following month.
