Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct accounting treatment for income tax provisions in a sole trader's books. It addresses whether to record it as a capital item or a current liability. The consensus is that income tax provision should be shown under current liabilities, and creating a separate 'provision' entry is generally unnecessary and potentially confusing.
