I'm not sure, but I think it makes sense to credit the deferred tax liability to reduce it in the year two accounts.

I'm going with C. We're reducing the corporation tax expense in the income statement, not the deferred tax liability.

I agree with Beatriz, because the company needs to reduce the deferred tax provision by recognizing the tax liability on the balance sheet.

Option B looks right to me. We need to reduce the deferred tax liability account, so a credit entry is needed.
