Big B Taxed Over Taxes

Bachchan, who did not make the list, claims he should have topped it, having paid Rs 155.9 million in taxes. He added that his son Abhishek Bachchan has paid Rs 47.5 million and daughter-in law Aishwarya Rai paid Rs 50 million, for a family tax contribution of Rs 253 million ($6 million).

Bachchan, 64, complained, “I’m surprised by the report and I’ve serious doubts about its authenticity. Because my name isn’t mentioned anywhere among the top most taxpayers of the entertainment business. This gives the utterly false impression that I make pots of money and don’t pay up enough taxes.”
“If you look at the figures for the year 2006-2007, you’ll see Amitabh, that’s yours truly, has paid Rs 14.15 crore and from our company AB Corp Ltd where all the earnings are mine, we’ve paid Rs 1.44 crore. And yet they’ve put Hrithik as the top most taxpayer! Even if you take my tax figures individually I still top.”

All right. Would you like to pay my taxes too Amitabh?
