There are no. of deductions and exemptions available under the IT Act,1961. Hence, the taxable profit would be quite less compared to the Book Profit which is arrieved at as per the provisions of Sec. 115JB. Remember, the Book profit does not mean the profit reflected in the P & L A/c but certain additions and deductions is to be made from the Profit shown in the P & L A/c as per Explanation to Sec. 115JB to convert the same into Book profit for MAT purpose.
In such a situation, the company has to pay the Minimum Tax which is called Minimum Alternate Tax.
The Tax to be paid by company is hiogher of :
(i) Tax on total Income computed as per the normal provisions of IT Act
(ii) 15 % of Book profit.
When , tax as per (ii) is higher, the same is the tax liability of the company which is called MAT.
In the same way, because of the difference in the rates of Depreciation as per the IT Act and Companies Act, as also because of the tax holiday enjoyed by the assessee, the tax liability for the current year would be less/high which may go high in the future years (as WDV would reduce faster as per IT because of higher rate of dep and after the expiry of tax holiday period tax liability would enhance), which gives deferred tax liability. In the Reverse situation , there would be deferred tax asset.
