Andhra Pradesh Professional Tax Calculator (FY 2026-27)
Exact PT deduction under the Andhra Pradesh Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1987 – nil up to Rs 15,000 a month, Rs 150 up to Rs 20,000 and Rs 200 above that. Verified by a practising CA.
Andhra Pradesh deducts PT monthly with three slabs and no February adjustment, so the salaried maximum is Rs 2,400 a year (Rs 200 x 12) within the Rs 2,500 constitutional cap. The slabs are identical to Telangana, since both states continue the structure of the 1987 Act.
| Monthly gross salary | PT per month |
|---|---|
| Up to Rs 15,000 | Nil |
| Rs 15,001 to Rs 20,000 | Rs 150 |
| Above Rs 20,000 | Rs 200 |
Employers in Andhra Pradesh obtain a Registration Certificate, deduct PT from employees each month per the slab and remit it with the monthly return (Form V) by the 10th of the following month. Self-employed professionals and businesses – companies, firms, directors, partners, CAs, doctors, lawyers, consultants and traders – obtain an Enrolment Certificate and pay a fixed Rs 2,500 per year by 30 June. Compliance runs on the AP Commercial Taxes portal (apct.gov.in).
Defaults attract interest under the Act and a penalty of 25% to 50% of the tax due can be levied. Under the old income-tax regime the PT deducted in the year is fully allowed as a deduction from salary under Section 16(iii); the new regime does not allow it.
