Amitabh Bachchan Claims He’s the Biggest Tax Payer
May 2nd, 2007
There’s no denying that the Bachchan family are among the wealthiest and most influential families in all of India, if not in all of Asia. They have a lot of money and control many things in the country, and because they earn so much, you’d imagine that they pay a lot of taxes.
That’s why it’s a little curious that a front page report in a daily newspaper failed to mention the Big B — Amitabh Bachchan — when it listed the highest tax payers in the country. Instead, it mentioned the likes of Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan , Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor.
“This gives the utterly false impression that I make pots of money and don’t pay up enough taxes,” said the head of the Bachchan family. “If you look at the figures for the year 2006-2007, you’ll see Amitabh Bachchan, that’s yours truly, has paid 14.15 crores, Abhishek Bachchan has paid 4.75 crores, from our company AB Corp Ltd where all the earnings are mine, we’ve paid 1.44 crores. And now that Aishwarya is part of the family approximately 5 crores pf tax money have come from her. This makes it a total of 25.3 crores.”
