RP-Sanjiv Goenka group firm, Phillips Carbon Black, reported a 240 per cent rise in standalone net profit to Rs 17 crore for the quarter ending December 31, 2016, as against the Rs 5 crore it reported in the year ago period.
According to a notification to the bourses, the company said it is currently under Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) and is therefore subject to a tax rate of 21.35 per cent on Profit before Tax.
Phillips Carbon Black reported a PBT of Rs 42 crore for the Q3 FY-17; against Rs 14.2 crore in the year ago period.
“The extraordinarily high tax financials reflect deferred tax adjustment which do not have any cash flow impact,” it further stated.
