I agree with the expert.
.
According to Section 40(a)(ii) Income Tax , Interest Payment in relation to Income Tax etc are not deductible.
.
Similarly wealth tax is not deductible vide Section 40a(iia).
.
Where as indirect taxes are generally deductible U/s 37(1) and interest on such tax payments , being compensatory in nature
is also allowable as deduction against the profits.
.
So direct expenses are, if debited to P&L A/c, required to be added back in the profit at the time of computation of Income.
