Can you suggest some possible amendments ?

e.g. Rate of MAT to be increased ( for 2010-11 AY it is 15 %) or few adjustments to be incorporated or anything else ?

Thanks very much for your interest..

under the new direct tax code, the MAT is proposed to be based on a percentage on the value of assets rather than profits as like the current system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is .25% of 'value of gross assets' in case of banking co. and in case of other companies, it is 2%...!!!!!!! ALSO IT IS CONSIDERE AS FINAL TAX AND HENSE NO CREDIT IN LATER YRS.......!!!!!!!!!
