Solution

The tax liability will be recognized in equity. This is because the revaluation of property is an 'other comprehensive income' item and is not recognized in profit or loss.

The tax liability is calculated based on the difference between the carrying value and the tax base, which is GHS10 million - GHS6 million = GHS4 million.

The tax rate applicable to profits made on the sale of property is 30%. Therefore, the tax liability is GHS4 million * 30% = GHS1.2 million.

So, the correct answer is a. In equity at GHS1.2 million.
