First determine your net taxable income, which is calculated directly from the given balances of the income statement accounts.

Then your income tax expense will be 30% of the net taxable income.

This assumes that
• Among the accounts you've listed, all of the income statement accounts are included.
• All of the listed expense accounts are deductible in full, for tax purposes.

as I recall income tax is a percentage of net profit so apply the percentage to the calculated profit. If you can't separate revenue items from capital you need to go back to your text books let me give you a clue, everything above a certain line is capital and what is below is revenue and the equation assets - liabilities = equity still works
