Alternate Minimum Tax for non-corporates: AMT charged on book profit with specified exceptions and applicable cess.

AMT applies to specified non-corporate persons whose adjusted total income exceeds the prescribed threshold; it is calculated on book profit. The standard rate is 18.50% of book profit, subject to reduced rates for units (including units in IFSC) and a separate rate for cooperative societies. Adjusted total income and AMT terms are statutorily defined. After computing AMT on book profit, applicable surcharge and the education/health cess must be added as provided in the relevant assessment year.
