Professional Tax in Andhra Pradesh

Current as of May 2026. Professional tax rates are set by Andhra Pradesh and can change by notification; confirm against the state portal before relying on them for payroll.

Andhra Pradesh runs a three-band monthly professional tax that it shares with Telangana, a legacy of the undivided state. Nothing is payable up to ₹15,000 a month. From ₹15,001 to ₹20,000 the tax is ₹150, and above ₹20,000 it is ₹200. Because the top band is ₹200, the annual liability for a higher earner reaches ₹2,400, under the ₹2,500 cap. Employers register on the Andhra Pradesh commercial taxes portal, deduct PT against the employee salary band each month, and pay by the 10th of the following month, which is one of the earlier due dates among PT states. An annual return is due by 30 April. The shared structure with Telangana is convenient for companies operating in both states, since the slabs and figures match, but the two states run separate portals and registrations, so a Visakhapatnam office and a Hyderabad office still need their own state registrations. Applicability follows the work location, as in every PT state. The early 10th-of-the-month due date is the detail to calendar, because it is tighter than the 20th or 21st that several northern and western states allow.
