Hi,
Provision for income tax refers to the line item in the profit and loss statement. Income tax is a broad term and could mean current taxes (taxes actually payable to Government), Tax expenses/provision for tax- taxes reported in the P&L or deferred taxes (difference between current taxes and tax expense).
