How to calculate AMT in LLP ?

Limited Liability Partnership, a kind of partnership done when two or more people come together and invest in Profit Sharing Company but are liable for any loss only up to the amount of share invested. LLP is a mixture of a partnership and a company; it has its own legal identity and can have assets and liabilities in its own name, the liability incurred by shareholders is limited to the extent of investment made by them. Often a person who starts any business has to be aware of the tax rules and the registration procedure. No entity can safeguard oneself from taxation rules and procedure, same goes for LLP. LLP is liable to pay tax but has some benefits in comparison to other business entities like a company.

Alternate Minimum Tax is liable for the LLPs. A LLP has to register and pay AMT as and when the due date comes.
