The rules, in plain English
Karnataka Rules We Handle
Karnataka Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1976
Professional tax
Employers in Karnataka register, deduct professional tax from salaries and pay it to the state, and businesses and professionals also enrol and pay for themselves. It is administered by the Commercial Taxes Department through its online system.

Registration, as amended in 2026
Shops and commercial establishments in Karnataka register under the Act and follow its rules on working hours, holidays and records. Since the 2026 amendment, establishments with ten or more workers that are registered under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code can be exempt.
Official source: labour.karnataka.gov.inKarnataka Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1965
Annual contribution
Covered establishments pay a contribution for each employee once a year, with a share deducted from the employee. Recent amendments changed the amounts and widened which establishments are covered, so we confirm whether yours is.

GST in Karnataka
A business supplying goods or services from Karnataka registers in the state (GST state code 29) and needs a separate registration in each other state it supplies from.
