Professional tax is defined as the tax which is charged at the state level to those persons who are involved in a number of professions, trades, callings and employment. In Chhattisgarh this tax is regulated by the Chhattisgarh Vritti Kar Adhiniyam 1995 which has provision for levy and collection of tax for urban facilities. The main purpose of professional tax is to mobilize the vital revenue for local bodies and the state government wherein the said amount is spent on basic amenities and infrastructural facilities. For the employers and employees, it is crucial to learn about the intricate step by step way of registration, fees that are payable and possible penalties for noncompliance in professional tax.
While employees have it easier in a way that their employers are obliged to deduct the tax on their behalf and then pay it to the government on their behalf, the self-employed have to register for the tax on their own as well as pay it by themselves. Inability to adhere to these regulations attracts severe penalties and legal repercussions requiring timely and accurate registration and payment. This is useful in order to avoid legal troubles and to ensure that the citizens as well as the companies residing in Chhattisgarh pay their fair share of tax that would contribute towards the state’s development in order for the well-being of the community at large.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
