Section 115JD(3)

On the tax credit awarded under subsection (1), the payers are not required to pay interest.

 

Section 115JD(4)

Income Tax Act, Section 115JD: Calculation of taxes

Step 1: Subtract the requirements of Sections 115JC to 115JF from the standard income tax liability of the non-corporate taxpayer.

2nd: Determine the non-corporate assesses adjusted total income.

3rd: If the adjusted total revenue is greater than Rs 1 crore but less than Rs 2 crore. Add 19.24% (18.5% + 4% Cess) or 22.126% (18.5% + 15% Levy + 4% Cess) to the adjusted total income as determined in step 2. The ad valorem tax will be computed.

5th: If the amount determined in Step 1 is less than the amount determined in Step 3. The non-corporate assessee will be held to owe tax for those prior years.

Making an AMT credit claim under Section 115JD of the Income Tax Act

AMT was introduced to recover taxes owing by companies that do not pay taxes and to guarantee a consistent flow of funds for the general treasury. Therefore, when ordinary tax is less in an FY than AMT, minimal tax is charged. AMT paid in a former FY may be carried forward and subtracted from the average tax to the extent of the difference between standard and AMT in the succeeding FYs. However, if AMT is lower than the average tax. Any amount that remains after such a set-off may be carried over to the upcoming fiscal years (FYs). This concept is referred to as “AMT Credit”. The requirements to earn AMT credit are shown below.

• The credit should start when the fifteen assessment years start and continue throughout.
• Such credit cannot have interest added to it.
• The tax credit under Section 115JD may change if an order issued in accordance with the Income Tax Act alters the amount of ordinary income tax or any AMT.
• Even if the total net income does not exceed Rs 20 lakhs, the assessee must offset any bought-forward AMT credit during the financial year after receiving a deduction under clause 10AA, section 35AD, or chapter VI-A.
