Budget 2017Chapter E

21. Minimum Tax and credit for Minimum Tax [S. 115JAA & 115JD]:

21.1 Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) is payable by companies and Alternate Minimum Tax (AMT) is payable persons other than companies. Tax payable under ITA is higher of the following:

i) Tax under Normal provisions of the ITA; or

ii) Tax as per MAT/AMT provisions.

In a case where tax payable is as per MAT/AMT provisions, then the excess MAT/AMT paid over tax as per normal provisions, is available as credit in subsequent years. In subsequent years, if tax payable under normal provisions is higher than MAT/AMT, the excess MAT / AMT of earlier years can be set off against normal tax. (Please refer to our budget note for 2012 for a detailed example.)
