Justice S.M. Subramaniam issued the direction while disposing of a writ petition filed by the actor in 2015 seeking tax exemption.
The Madras High Court on Thursday directed actor K. Dhanush to pay within 48 hours the balance of ₹30.33 lakh out of ₹60.66 lakh demanded by Commercial Taxes department in 2015 towards entry tax for a Rolls Royce Ghost imported by him from the United Kingdom. Justice S.M. Subramaniam issued the direction while disposing of a writ petition filed by the actor six years ago seeking tax exemption in toto. He had been using the car since then after complying with an interim order to pay 50% of the total entry tax demanded from him. However, now when the writ petition was listed for final hearing, just a fortnight after the judge passed , Mr. Dhanush's counsel Vijayan Subramanian told the court that his client was willing to pay the tax in full and wants to withdraw .More Related News
