Basic objective behind introduction of MAT provisions was to levy tax on zero tax companies.

Zero tax companies are companies showing profits in books and also paying out dividends, however, not paying tax/marginal tax on account of various incentives( for example: incentives under chapter  VIA- C – in relation to certain incomes, etc). Therefore, Government wanted to get some tax from these companies also.

 

Section 115JB was introduced by Finance Act,  – Provides for levy of tax on book profits at 18.5%

 

MAT is payable only if tax as per normal provisions of the Act is less than 18.5% of “book profits
P&L account/statement is to be prepared in accordance with Schedule III of Companies Act, 2013(earlier Schedule VI of the companies Act, 1956); exception for banking, insurance, power generation companies, etc. -
