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.
