This shall not be treated as prior period item. As per AS 5, prior period items are items which is effected in current year's financial statement due to mistake or omission in past financial year.

The Sales Tax liability is not ascertainable in the original year and hence not provided. So it is not prior period item. Then no question arises for Income Tax. It is allowable.
