M.r. Jaitley in Budget 2015-16 has exempted FIIs from paying MAT with effect from April 1, 2015.
MAT on FIIs has been abolished from April 1 this year and the government has now decided to amend the Income Tax Act to clarify that it is not applicable even prior to that.
MAT provisions will not be applicable to FIIs/FPIs (foreign portfolio investors) not having a place of business/ permanent establishment in India, for the period prior to April 1, 2015,"
