In the current times where several MNCs are facing the issue of operating losses (the term ‘operating losses’ for the purpose of this article denotes business losses) in various jurisdictions, it becomes imperative for them to evaluate the provisions on utilisation of tax losses in these jurisdictions so as to optimise the overall tax cost. Considering the above, this article contains a broad overview of provisions prevalent in certain key jurisdictions on utilisation of tax losses. However, it should be noted that there could be certain conditions prescribed under the respective tax laws which may need to be followed before offsetting the tax losses.
Currently companies are required to pay MAT tax if the tax payable under normal provisions of the Act is lower than 10% (15% w.e.f. A.Y. 2010-11) of the book profit as defined u/s.115JB of the Act. An issue which arises is whether an assessee liable to MAT should pay interest u/s.234B and u/s.234C for shortfall in payment of advance tax.
The reasons in support of and also against the issue under consideration have been set out above. The reasons in support of the argument that, amalgamated company can claim MAT credit of amalgamating company after merger, appears to be reasonable. Such conclusion would also be in accord with the purposive interpretation of the relevant provision. However, the tax authorities may be reluctant to allow MAT credit of the amalgamating company to amalgamated company. This may entail a tax demand and other consequences such as levy of interest and penalty on the amalgamated company. To avoid the levy of interest, one may take a pro-revenue stand while paying taxes, but adopt the liberal view while filing returns.
