MAT is applicable to Comapnies where as Alternate Minimum Tax (AMT) is applicable to organisations other than companies..
I am not sure about the rate of MAT you can wait for others to reply. .
MAT is applicable to the companies on the Bookprofit.
Tax payable is higher of Mat or Normal Income tax rate for companies which is 30.9 %
Higher of these two will be payable..
Mat paid is available for credit as well..
Wait for seniors to reply to your post
