If you want o/p like below

Taxvalue   Recent_Date
----------------------
13         24/09/2012

then,

SQL

select taxvalue, max(convert(varchar,choosed_date,103)) as Recent_Date from taxdetails where Choosed_date= (select max(Choosed_date) from taxdetails)

Happy Coding!
:)

WHy you are using group by?

SQL

select * from taxdetails WHERE convert(varchar,choosed_date,103)=(select max(varchar,choosed_date,103)  from taxdetails)

[Edited]
Added WHERE keyword in the statement(was missing).
