Where these figures come from
Meghalaya Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Taxation (Amendment) Act, 2012 schedule, effective 1 April 2012. Last checked on 18 October 2026. Professional tax is set by each state and can change without notice, so confirm the current schedule with the state tax department before you rely on it for a filing.
A 2022 amendment made the rates 'as notified by the State Government'. We found no later rate notification, so this is the 2012 schedule — confirm it is still the one in use.
