We register and file under your state Act, whether Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal or another PT-levying state.
We obtain both the PTRC for deducting employee tax and the PTEC for your own business liability.
Timely monthly or annual filing prevents state penalties, interest and prosecution for delayed PT deduction and deposit.
