Akshay Kumar: Highest Tax Payer Bollywood Star
Akshay Kumar has been announced as the highest tax payer among the Bollywood stars. He paid Rs 31 crore tax for his taxable income of Rs. 125-150 crore for the 2008-09 fiscal year. Income Tax Department of India has recently revealed the names of top ten tax payers of Bollywood. The second and the third spots in the list go to Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan respectively.
Shah Rukh Khan paid Rs 30.99 crore tax for his Rs 90.90 crore tax payable income. Aamir Khan secures the third place, while another star Salman Khan clinches the fourth place. The combined total of top ten tax payers of Bollywood for 2008-09 stands at Rs 107 crore, a 17.7 percent increase compared to previous fiscal year’s Rs 90.90 crore. So, it seems that economic recession did not make any big impact on Bollywood stars.
Akshay Kumar has extensive success over the last couple of years, churning out a number of big hits. Naturally, his income has also followed his success. So, I am not surprised to see Akshay Kumar becoming no. 1 tax payer in Bollywood.

Sharukh is the only one in the bollywood industry who has glven major number of hits from 1990 where as Akshay was nothing at that time.Sharukh has played variety of roles & I don’t think Akshay has done atleast half of them,he is only good in comic roles nothing else.So,I say Sharukh is still the BADSHAH OF BOLLYWOOD….
