Shah Rukh Khan has emerged as India’s biggest celebrity taxpayer, topping the list with ₹92 crore paid in taxes for the 2023-24 financial year. This comes as no surprise considering the success of his films in the previous year, including Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, which collectively grossed over ₹2600 crore. Following closely behind him is Tamil star Vijay, who paid ₹80 crore in taxes. Other notable names on the list include Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Virat Kohli. The figures were calculated based on advance tax payments by these individuals. Despite not being as high-earning as big businessmen, celebrities in India still earn enough to pay immense amounts in taxes, showcasing the financial success of the country’s top film stars and sports icons. Shah Rukh and Vijay’s remarkable success in the box office translated into significant tax contributions, solidifying their positions as the top tax-paying celebrities in India for the year.
