Bollywood actors are spending most of their money on taxes. It is because of them that so much of money is going into our treasury and that is really good for us. But wonder if the government is making good use of it.
Here is a list of our top Bollywood tax payers.
Top individual advance income taxpayers in Bollywood of 2007-2008 till December 31.
Shah Rukh Khan-27 Rs crore:Om Shanti Om and Chak De India, besides money earned from advertisements have enabled him to contribute so much.
Akshay Kumar- Rs 7 crore:Consecutive hits like Bhool Bhulaiya and Welcome have really added to the stunt man’s purse.
Abhishek Bachchan- Rs 3.7 crore Not many releases this year caused him to pay so less this time. Also, the man was busy with his newly wedded wife.
Aamir Khan-Rs 3 crore: Last year he paid around 6 crore.This time it has become half the amount. Tax collectors however, are rejoicing with Taare Zameen Par’s success. TZP has been a hit at the box office which is real good news for the treasuery.
Himesh Reshammiya-Rs 2.5 crore: With more singing contracts in hand even his Tax payment has increased.
Amitabh Bachan :-Rs 1.8 crore:Well this is actually surprising. Big B seems to be in almost all the movies and he is paying so less. Tax officials please look nto the matter.
Working hard and shedding out in crores is painful sometimes especially for these actors.
