Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct accounting treatment for provisions for income tax. The consensus is that debiting the Profit & Loss account and crediting the Provision for Income Tax account is the appropriate method. This entry correctly reduces the net profit by the tax amount, with the remaining profit then being transferred to the capital account on the balance sheet.

1) 2nd entry is correct for provision of income tax.

2) Show provision for tax in the P&L account (after Net profit). This will in effect reduce net profit by tax component.

3) Balance (Profit After Tax) will get carried forward to the capital account in the balance sheet.

 

Your 2nd entry is correct.

Reduce the tax and that will reduce the profit
