Shah Rukh Khan income in 2007 : 100 Crores

Shah Rukh Khan income in 2007 : 100 Crores

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be the highest income-tax payer from
Bollywood for the second year in a row.

SRK has paid advance taxes of Rs 27 crore till December 15, 2007, said
sources, putting his income for 2007-08 at over Rs 100 crore. It is a
glittering jump from the money he made the previous fiscal when he
paid a modest Rs 18 crore in tax.

2007 has been a particularly prosperous year for SRK, for he not only
had two mega hits under his belt - Chak De India and Om Shanti Om ,
which he also produced - but also earned Rs 1 crore for every episode
of Kaun Banega Crorepati .

Hrithik Roshan , who paid Rs 15 crore last year, had no releases in
2007 though his endorsement list has grown longer. Aamir Khan , who
paid Rs 6 crore last year, released only one film, Taare Zameen Par ,
and is known to have taken the distribution rights as part of his
remuneration. He has paid advance taxes worth Rs 3 crore.

While Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan paid Rs 8 crore in
income tax last year, his advance tax payment until December 15, 2007
was only Rs 1.8 crore. Bachchan, who is said to have upped his fee in
2008, is no more among the highest paid actors but his endorsement
roster is still a blue-chip one.

Among those who have paid a high advance tax this fiscal are Akshay
Kumar (Rs 7 crore, although there have been media reports in the
recent about the actor paying tax of Rs 26 crore) and Himesh
Reshammiya (Rs 2.5 crore). The singer charges Rs 5.5 crore as a
composer and actor.

Abhishek Bachchan has paid Rs 3.7 crore (much higher than his returns
the previous year) while his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has paid Rs
1.6 crore. Close behind Ash is Kareena Kapoor with Rs 1 crore in
advance tax.

So in income-tax stakes also, the King Khan is far ahead of the competition.
