Basic objective behind introduction of MAT provisions was to levy tax on zero tax companies.
Zero tax companies are companies showing profits in books and also paying out dividends, however, not paying tax/marginal tax on account of various incentives( for example: incentives under chapter VIA- C – in relation to certain incomes, etc). Therefore, Government wanted to get some tax from these companies also.
Section 115JB was introduced by Finance Act, – Provides for levy of tax on book profits at 18.5%
