What is meaning of MAT? please explain in detail with an
example?
Answer Posted / ankush kumar arora
MAT stands for Minimum Alternate Tax, as per Income tax Act, 1962. It is applicable to Companies and Firms/LLPs. Many a time, firms and companies avail all the benefits in tax laws and end up paying a paltry sum as tax or pay no tax at all, on account of excellent tax planning. The Government reports poor tax collection and thereby the projects of the government are not met or results in greater deficit than estimated. If it is not plugged in time, these perpetual deficits would result in greater inflation in the economy. Hence the governments all over the world have brought this concept of minimum amount of tax, to be collected, regardless of benefits received/availed by taxpayers. Tax is levied @ 30% and 40% on the total (taxable) income computed as per Income tax Act, 1962 for domestic and foreign companies respectively. MAT is computed at the rate of 18.5% on the book profit. Book profit is nothing but profit as per accounting records prepared for the purpose of the Companies Act, with some adjustments carried out as given under Section 115JA of Income tax Act.

Dear Experts, I need your help in deriving a formula for calculating three taxes with a combination of cumulative and inclusive tax. Here are the examples with expected result. Please let me know the formula on how to get the given result. Example1: Total Product Value (V) = 1000 (with inclusive of all 3 taxes and below mentioned cumulative combinations) Tax1 rate is 10% and Tax1 is inclusive. Tax2 rate is 10% with Tax2 is inclusive and cumulative of Tax1 Tax3 rate is 10% with Tax3 is inclusive and there is no cumulative of Tax1, Tax2 Expected Results are: Tax1=76.34 Tax2=83.97 Tax3=76.34 Let me know formula to derive above values? Example2: Total Product Value (V) = 1000 (with inclusive of all 3 taxes and below mentioned cumulative combinations) Tax1 rate is 10% and Tax1 is inclusive. Tax2 rate is 10% with Tax2 is inclusive and cumulative of Tax1 Tax3 rate is 10% with Tax3 is inclusive and cumulative of Tax2 Expected Results are: Tax1=75.70 Tax2=83.27 Tax3=84.03 Please let me know formula to derive above values?
