Correct adjustment entry for provision of tax (Rs. 1,00,000) – debiting expense and crediting the liability account.

The adjustment entry for provision for tax is prepared to record the income tax expense for the accounting period and to show the liability for the tax payable. The entry is as follows:

Particulars Amount (Rs.) L.F.
