Professional Tax in Andhra Pradesh — Slabs & How to Calculate
Andhra Pradesh charges no professional tax below ₹15,000/month, then ₹150/month up to ₹20,000, then a flat ₹200/month above that — ₹2,400 a year at the top.
Andhra Pradesh's professional tax table is administered by the state's Commercial Taxes Department, and shares its structure with Telangana — a legacy of the two states splitting in 2014 from what was originally one combined table.
The top rate of ₹200/month for all twelve months totals ₹2,400 a year, under the ₹2,500 constitutional cap, with no special adjustment month required.
Employers deduct this monthly; self-employed professionals and business owners above the threshold register and pay directly.
Worked example
A standard month works out to ₹150.00. A ₹18,000-a-month salary falls in the ₹15,001–₹20,000 band — ₹150/month, ₹1,800 for the year.

Frequently asked questions
What is the professional tax slab in Andhra Pradesh in 2026?
Nil up to ₹15,000 a month, ₹150 a month from ₹15,001 to ₹20,000, and ₹200 a month above ₹20,000 (₹2,400 a year).
Is this the same tax as Telangana's?
Structurally similar and historically related, since Telangana was part of Andhra Pradesh until 2014 — but they're now two fully separate state taxes, each administered by its own Commercial Taxes Department, and each state can change its own table independently going forward.
Does self-employment income count differently from salary?
Self-employed professionals and traders register and pay directly rather than having an employer deduct it — the same slabs generally apply, but confirm with the state department for your specific category.
Is there an annual cap?
₹2,400/year at the top slab — under the ₹2,500 constitutional maximum, so no adjustment month is needed here.
