Tamil actor Suriya has never taken his stardom for granted and is quite decisive about choices he makes for every film. If he so chooses, he can keep delivering out and out masala movies like Singam. Tamil heroes are receiving shocks from the Madras High Court on tax cases. Earlier Vijay and Dhanush approached the Madras High court for seeking tax exemption on owning an imported luxury car but they were denied exemptions from entry taxes, actor Suriya has hit the headlines for the same reason.
The income tax – IT department had conducted raid on Suriya’ properties in 2010 for the financial years 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 and ordered him to pay the tax in 2011. The income tax department sent an order to Suriya in the year 2011 saying Rs 3 Cr 11 lakh 96 thousand rupees had to be paid in taxes for the years 2007-08 and 2008-09.
In 2018, Suriya approached the court seeking income tax exemption saying he is a regular taxpayer and has the right to seek the exemption. But Madras HC dismissed the petition of Suriya and asked him to pay the above mentioned amount.
On the work front, Suriya is busy with his upcoming Tamil movie titled Jai Bhim.
