MAT is applicable to all the companies. If Income tax payable by the company is less than 18.5% of the Profit as per P&L Account, then the company has to pay income tax equal to 18.5% of Profit, it is called MINIMUM ALTERNATE TAX [MAT].

The Above calculation shows that, if there is a long term capital gain, otherwise exempt u/s 10(38). This will be taken into account while calculating Book Profit u/s 115JB. So, if MAT is applicable then you will have to pay tax on Long Term Capital Gain.
