Accounting for MAT

As per the guidance for MAT, whether the MAT paid should be charged off to P&L a/c
and the in year in which it is available, an asset has to be created by crediting the P&L a/c.The only thing is that whether any provision for tax is to be made when there is only MAT applicable to the particular company.Please clarify on the above issue.

MAT paid will not be charged to the profit and loss account instead shown as part of advance / self assessment tax paid in the provision in the balancesheet. You have to create a provision for tax liability be it for MAT or regular tax. MAT credit would be an off the book item which appears only in the incometax statements. Does the guidance note prescribe a treatment different from this?
