SRK pays advance tax of Rs 27 crore

CNN-IBN

New Delhi: Actor Shah Rukh Khan is far ahead of the competition in more ways than one. He is the favorite star of the Income Tax department too. Well, if you paid an advance tax of Rs 27 crore, you would be too.

The actor will be the highest income-tax payer from Bollywood for the second year in a row.

Sources say, SRK puts his income for 2007-08 at over Rs 100 crore. 2007 has been particularly prosperous for Shah Rukh with two mega hits, Chak De India and Om Shanti Om.

Anchoring Kaun Banega Crorepati also made him richer by Rs 1 crore per episode.

Among others in Bollywood who have paid a high advance tax this year are Akshay Kumar, Himesh Reshammiya, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai — though none has paid anywhere close to what SRK has.

No wonder the Bollywood badshah tags himself 'priceless'!
