22 September 2012 Sir,

Please Tell me the accounting treatment of MAT, if MAT Attracts a company First time.

Actually Current year Book Profit is suppose Rs.5000 and Carried Forward Loss Rs.150000

Therefore there is no Tax liability after adjusting Previous Year Loss but Mat will attract For Rs.9250 (50000*18.5%).

Please tell me which journal entry is needed to pass in this case for creating Provission.Is the Following entry is Correct????

MAT Credit A/c Dr.9250
(Current Assets)

To Provission For MAT A/c. Rs.9250
(Current Liability)
