1. If the same was debited from the personal account the name of the person will appear as creditors in the books of accounts. As far as taxes are concerned it does not matter who made the payment. 
2. In your case, if self-assessment taxes are paid from other accounts then the person from whose account the payments were made will appear as creditors in your BOA. 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view. 

If we consider it payment from business account what will be the treatment

Credit to Bank and debit Tax paid account

Treatment in capital ac and balance sheet?
Self assessment tax ,I am assuming it's income tax liability not a GST liability.My answer to your liability is that it is a personal expense i.e. drawing. It's accounting treatment will be debit drawings/capital account To cash/ SB account /current account.
Mam as per Income Tax No direct tax expense is allowed as expense in P&L A/C. Only Indirect Taxes are allowed as expenses. (Fees&Taxes) even no penalty allowed.
@ Priti
I presume it is proprietory concern.
Tax payment you can debit to Capital account and credit to bank account (assuming payment is made from SB Account instead of Current Account.) In the BS show bank accounts

If the situation is different then elaborate capital account.
Please correct me in my reply in second sentence the word liability to be replaced by query. And last sentence is ,it doesn't matter from which account payment is made
