The amount to be taken as mat credit is including education cess. and the word tax in income tax act includes education cess and higher education cess.
for eg if tax payable under normal provision is RS. 10000 EC comes to 3% ie Rs 300 under MAT if tax payable is Rs 30000 and EC comes to Rs. 900 then eligible credit is rs.20600 ie (30900-10300)
