Anushka Sharma Moves To Bombay High Court Against Tax Issues

The plea will be heard on February 6.

Anushka Sharma has moved to the Bombay High Court challenging two orders passed by the deputy commissioner of Sales Tax on dues for 2012-13 and 2013-14. A division bench of Justices Nitin Jamdar and Abhay Ahuja today directed the tax department to reply to Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma’s plea

The plea will be heard on February 6 and the High Court has ordered the tax department to respond within 3 weeks. For the universe, the actress had approached the High Court claiming that she had received an inflated tax notice as a creator or producer of the film and not as an actor and performer. 

She was asked to pay ₹ 1.2 crore in 2012-13 and the next year, she received a notice for ₹ 1.6 crore. Earlier, the actress had filed four petitions between 2012 and 2016.

Anushka Sharma, who has been part of highest grossing Bollywood films such as Sultan (2016), and Rajkumar Hirani’s films PK (2014) and Sanju (2018), was last seen in a guest appearance role in Netflix original Qala (2022). The actress is preparing for Chakda Xpress, which is a  biopic of former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami.
