We have Registered Office & Corporate Office situated in Pune. We have our employees (recruited locally) situated and operating in other States in addition to the State of Maharashtra. All these employees currently report directly to the Corporate Office in Pune. Salary of these employees is also centrally processed in Pune Only. Currently we are deducting Profession Tax from salary of all employees (including those operating outside the State of Maharashra) at the rates specified in the Maharashra State Tax on Professions Act and depositing the same with the appropriate authorities in the State of Maharashtra. Is this treatment correct OR do we need to obtain separate registration from the respective States in which the employees are operating and deposit the dues as per the respective State Acts with the respective State Governments?
