Profession tax is a tax on revenue and not tax on salary alone. As such, if your employees are paid yearly bonus, that should also be considered for deciding the profession tax payable. If the system is payment of profession tax in half yearly basis, then the amount of the bonus amount shall be included in the earnings in that half year period and calculate the tax payable.

If you have centralised pay processing system, you should make it branch wise for professional tax purpose and pay the tax of the employees in each branch at the respective local self government (corporation, Municipality or Panchayat) only. The professional tax is an income of the LSGs and therefore, it cannot be paid at one Corporation/ municipality/ panchayat where your head office is situated.
