flag India's 2026-27 budget changes MAT to a final tax, cuts rate to 14%, and allows limited credit use for firms switching to 22% tax regime.

flag India’s 2026-27 Union Budget introduces a major overhaul of the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT), effective April 1, 2026, making MAT a final tax with no future credit carry-forwards. flag The MAT rate is reduced from 15% to 14%, and companies switching to the new 22% corporate tax regime can use up to 25% of their annual tax liability to offset pre-existing MAT credits. flag Non-resident entities under presumptive taxation for electronics manufacturing income are exempt from MAT. flag The reform aims to simplify tax compliance, improve cash flow predictability, and encourage migration to the lower-rate regime, though firms staying under the old system may face higher effective tax costs if profitable.
