Although the revised draft Direct Taxes Code (DTC) has suggested the continuation of profit-linked incentives for existing SEZ units and developers, they are likely to come under the ambit of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). The revised draft of DTC has recommended the rate of MAT at 2 per cent of the value of gross assets as the final tax. The provision, if adopted, would negate the very objective of the SEZ policy, as the developers and units would then end up paying MAT, based on their book profits, which will be a final tax.

In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court has ruled that taxpayers can legally reduce their liability through dividend-stripping, a term used for selling mutual fund units at a discount post-dividend. An apex court bench headed by Chief Justice SH Kapadia has said there is nothing wrong in dividend-stripping after getting the tax benefits. The bench further said such dividend stripping after availing of the tax rebates cannot be termed as abuse of law.
