Chapter XIIB of the Income Tax Act, 1961 covers Minimum Alternate Tax U/s. 115JB, which covers cases under ‘Special Provision for Payment of tax by certain companies’.. The relevant extract of this section is produced below:
Limited liability partnerships (LLPs) have been the flavour of corporate jurists all over the world in the past 15 years. The concept looked attractive. India passed the Limited Liability Partnership Act in 2008, providing the legal framework for the formation of LLPs. The Act came into force on April 1, 2009. The tax aspect has been sorted out by Finance Bill, 2009. LLPs will be taxed in the same way as ordinary partnership firms.
18. We have heard both the parties and have gone through the orders, decisions and judgments and provisions of the Income-tax Act. From the facts, it is noticed that the objection of the revenue is with regard to the assessee’s failure to follow the AS-15 and the ‘actuarial method’ referred therein and not disputed the quantification of the ‘provision of gratuity. In other words, the incorrect quantification of the provision
10. The core of controversy in this appeal is against the deductibility or otherwise of an interest of Rs. 6,50,236 allowed to the partners which was claimed as deduction. The case of the Assessing Officer is that no deduction on account of interest to partners can be allowed. The learned D. R. submitted that the rental income of Rs. 16.70 lakhs was rightly held to be taxable under the head `Income from other sources’

Where the AO reopened the assessment to rework the book profits u/s 115JA and in an appeal against such order the assessee raised other issues unconnected with the reassessment and the preliminary point arose as to whether in the light of the judgement of the Supreme Court in CIT vs. Sun Engineering 198 ITR 297, […]
Gujarat State Petroleum Corpn. Ltd. v. JCIT The deduction claimed by the assessee under section 42 cannot be considered for the purpose of computing the deemed income under section 115JA
The Supreme Court has ruled that provisioning for bad debt cannot be considered for deduction against the taxable income & Provision for bad and doubtful debts cannot be added to the “book profits” for purposes of section 115JA because they merely represent the diminution in the value of an asset and are not a provision for an unascertained liability.
TILL a few months back, it used to be a rare event in which the Delhi High Court used to impose costs on the Income Tax Department. And this is what perhaps encouraged the Revenue to keep filing appeals indiscriminately and virtually in all cases. But such a cosy run has evidently run out of luck now. So much exasperated is the High Court over the Department’s thick-skinned approach to curb frivolous appeals that it can now be seen imposing costs in most of the cases. And it happened even in this case where the issue revolves around allowance of bad debts and stock damages. While computing book profits u/s 115JA, the AO added back the provisions of doubtful debts and stock damages as he felt that such provisions cannot be categorised as ascertained liabilities in advance.
