It's liability & it will go balance sheet . Corresponding expenses will be there in P & L
When one prepares P&L a/c one has to follow a set format. In this format sales less expenses leads to profit after profit is arrived at one pays income tax on profits! So how can one deduct income tax as an expense?
You may see provision for income tax under current liabilities

PBT - Tax = PAT
Sch III has Income tax in the format in P&L but final effect in accounts will be in Balance Sheet ..

Are you trying to teach that in the equation you cited Tax has now qualified as "expense" ???
