Also, these companies will not be required to pay any Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). Effective tax rate in this case would be 25.17 per cent, including cess and surcharge.Further, the 'super-rich' tax will not apply on capital gains arising from the sale of any security, including derivatives in the hands of Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI).To provide relief to the listed companies which have already made a public announcement of buyback before July 5, 2019, the government announced that tax on buyback of shares in case of such companies shall not be charged.These measures also boosted the investor sentiments in the market.Commenting on the measures, Mustafa Nadeem, CEO, Epic Research said: "This is huge for the market. There were few announcements that were keeping sentiments in check as the Finance Minister was trying to boost market sentiments and improve the state of the economy by boosting exports, banks consolidation, recapitalisation and so on but reducing the corporate tax rate to 22 per cent or domestic players and 15 per cent for new entrants setting up manufacturing units is a big boost. It has two important effects."One the domestic environment which was sluggish due to slowdown is going to fade with lowered corporate taxes," Nadeem said.( With inputs from IANS )
