A trust has surplus of more than 15% of its Collection for the year 2011-12. But it has deficits (excess of expenditure over income) in the preceding 2 years. 1) Can the deficit of earlier years be set-off against the surplus in the current year. Or should the trust pay tax on excess over 15% in the current year. 2) If the surplus over 15 % is to be accumulated and exemption claimed what would be the procedure?
