Is an LLP subject to the provisions of MAT u/s 115JB of the IT Act, 1961?

if yes, then it is applicable from which assessment year?

Swati ji,

LLPs are covered under provisions of section 115JC and not u/s 115JB.

LLPs shall be subject to alternate minimum tax @ 18.5 percent on the adjusted total income as per the income tax provisions as against book profit in case of AMT (Alternate Minimum Tax).

The new tax named alternate minimum tax shall be levied w.e.f. 1 April 2011 and thus shall apply to A.Y. 2012-13 and in subsequent years.

In case of LLP, the term "Book Profit" is replaced with "Adjusted Total Income".

“Adjusted total income” shall be the total income before giving effect to provisions of Chapter XII-BA as increased by

the deductions claimed under any section (other than section 80P) included in Chapter VI-A under the heading

“C – Deductions in respect of certain incomes” and deduction claimed under section 10AA;

(Note - It means first calculate TI as per the Normal provisions of Income Tax and then add back deduction under Xhaptyer VIA and 10AA)

Whereas Book profit is computed after doing adjustments of "specified 16 adjustments" to the profit and loss as computed in accorance with Schedule Vi to Companies Act, 1956.
