Sole proprietor may consider it as drawings
That income tax is your liability as individual and not of your business, thus when you pay income tax from your business it is treated as drawings from your capital as you are paying off your liability with the money of business
Drawings A/c Dr
To Bank A/c Cr
( personal income tax paid from business Bank account)

Capital A/c Dr
To Drawings A/c Cr
( Drawings transferred to Capital account)

Yes, Individual's income tax liability is drawings of the individual. It's not an expenses...
