No expense incurred as income tax fees, penalty or tax under income tax are allowed as deduction.

However if u mean fees paid to any professional or lawyer related to income tax then it shall be debited to P & L A/c.

Also it cannot be debited to head 'Duties n Taxes' (wrongly answered above)

Any tax paid is shown under duties and taxes head in tally. Sorry I read it as income tax paid, and did not see income tax fees paid. Income tax fees paid can be recorded as professional fees.
