Minimum alternate tax 115jb

Tax queries 1430 views 3 replies

Dear Experts

A company X Private Limited had unabsorbed depreciation of Rs. 5 lacs and brought forward losses excluding depreciation of Rs. 4 lacs as per books in the Assessment Year 2012-13 and the position as per income tax act was also the same.

In the Assessment Year 2013-14 company has profits of Rs. 8 lacs as per income tax act and the book profits computed u/s 115JB are also the same. Now on what amount the company is liable to pay tax and at what rate?

Suppose as per 115JB company can set off unabsorbed depreciation and b/f losses excluding depreciation whichever is lower i.e. b/f losses of Rs. 4 lacs. Than can the company carry forward the unabsorbed depreciation of Rs. 5 lacs which has not been set off?

Mat to be paid is Rs.76,220.00((Rs.800000-400000)18.5%+3%cess). Income tax as per normal provision Nil (Rs.800000-500000-400000) unabsorbed loss of Rs.100000 to be carried forward to next AY. The company is however entitled for MAT credit of Rs.76220.00
It is only for calculation of MAT, lower of business loss or depreciation loss is required to be deducted. But as per normal provision both losses can be set off and any balance loss(in the above case loss of Rs.100000) can be carried forward to next AY
In case of MAT, it again depends on next year financial result of the co. lower of book loss or depreciation as per books will be allowed as deduction while computing MAT
