Dear Members

 

                 
                   
I require your advise in respect of arriving at the amount for availing MAT credit. Kindly advise which amount
should be taken into account for calculating difference between IT and MAT (whether before charging Cess
or after charging Cess). For better understanding I am giving below the two workings.  
                   
                   
Taxable Income as per IT Memo   3919757   Book Profit as per P&L a/c 6106981
                   
Tax @ 30%     1175927   MAT  @ 18%   1099257
Cess @ 2%     23519   Cess @ 2%   21985
HSE Cess @ 1%     11759   HSE Cess @ 1%   10993
                   
Income Tax as per IT Memo   1211205   Minimum Alternate Tax 1132235
                   
Working No.1                
                   
Normal Tax Payable (as per workings computed above)   1211205 (includes cess)  
Less : Minimum Alternate Tax Payable on Book Profits   1132235 (includes cess)  
                   
MAT credit available for adjustment     78970    
                   
Working No.2                
                   
Normal Tax Payable (as per workings computed above)   1175927 (excluding cess)
Less : Minimum Alternate Tax Payable on Book Profits   1099257 (excluding cess)
                   
MAT credit available for adjustment     76670    

with regards
