The sales tax department of Maharashtra reportedly told the Bombay High Court that Anushka Sharma is liable to pay tax for every artistic performance where she received consideration, including her performances at award functions or stage shows as she is ‘the first owner of copyrights’ for the same. According to reports, the actress had claimed that the authority had ‘erroneously’ noted that she had acquired copyright through endorsements and by anchoring award functions, and had sold or transferred it. The sales tax department had reportedly levied Rs 1.2 crore sales tax (inclusive of interest) for 2012-13 on Rs 12.3 crore received by Anushka; and Rs 1.6 crore tax for 2013-14 for the Rs 17 crore she had received.
