Whether MAT Credit can be Set off 100% in subsequent year

Hi,

Our company is a Pvt Ltd and is EOU entitiled to Sec 10(B) benefits and have paid MAT of lets say Rs. 100 (for example) upto FY 2010-11.

In FY 2011-12 EOU tax benefits have expired and now it is under 30% tax bracket. In this scenario, Lets say our Tax liability for FY 2011-12 is say Rs. 60.

What will be our Tax treatment for FY 2011-12

A) Whether we can do full set off of Rs. 60 from the earlier MAT paid or

B) Whether our claim will be restricted and we have to pay fresh MAT @ 18% and can set off MAT Credit only on the balance Tax liability of lets say 12% (ignore surcharge & cess for this example for sake of simplicity).

If so, do we have to pay Advance Tax now??

Your earlier reply will be of great help.

Thanks

Dharmesh

How withdrawal of exemption effects setting off MAT? I think MAT of earlier year it can be set off from the tax on total income. If MAT is more than tax on total income then fresh tax credit can be availed of.

Full set off of MAT cannot be availed off. Adjustment shall be restricted to Tax on total income less MAT. Minimum tax has to be paid. 

Thanks for your reply.

You can only adjusted to extent of diiference in MAT and Tax libality of current year
