19 Mar 2013

Akshay Kumar may be fighting hard against the three Khans in the industry vying for top honours, but away from the film battlefield, Kumar has beaten all three of them in terms of tax returns. Akshay who has been on a professional high, with back-to-back hits like Housefull 2 Rowdy Rathore OMG Oh My God! and Special 26 has achieved another feat by becoming Bollywood's highest advance income tax payer for the sixth consecutive year.

In fact Kumar has apparently paid Rs. 18 crore this year as compared to his Rs. 20 crore shell out in 2012, followed by Salman in the second spot at Rs. 11 crore, Shah Rukh Khan at third shelling out Rs. 10.5 crore while Aamir is believed to have paid Rs. 8 crore.

On the other hand, among actresses, Katrina Kaif has apparently paid the highest income tax at Rs. 4.5 crore, beating her rival Kareena Kapoor by a narrow margin who paid Rs. 4 crore, while Priyanka Chopra trailed behind with Rs. 2 crore.
