SRK is B'wood's top tax payer, Akshay second on list

Shah Rukh Khan dribbled away in Chak De India and then danced his way to the box office with Om Shanti Om, and even now King Khan continues to deliver, but this time to the Income Tax Department.

The actor is reportedly the highest income tax payer for the second year in a row with an advance tax payment of Rs 27 crore that makes his income over Rs100 crore.

While SRK tops the list, the man with midas touch who had four successive hits in 2007 - Akshay Kumar comes a far second for having to shell out Rs 7 crore as taxes.

And if you were to put the whole Bachchan khandaan together then Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan along with the Big B emptied out around Rs 7.1 crore as taxes.

The other Khan to figure in this list is - Aamir Khan with Rs 3 crore.

But the one name that stands out in the list is that of singer and music director Himesh Reshammiya, after raking in the moolah for his surprise hit Aap Ka Suroor, Himesh will be shelling out Rs 2.1 crore for the government's coffers this year.

So if you had any doubts about Bollywood booming then we are sure this list would dismiss that altogether.

TALKING TAX: Shah Rukh paid an advance tax of Rs 27 crore, which makes his income over Rs100 crore.
