Anushka moves HC against Maharashtra’s 1.2 crore tax demand | India News – Times of India

MUMBAI: Actor Anushka Sharma on Thursday approached Bombay high court with petitions against the state and the commissioner of sales tax authorities, challenging the department’s March 2021 order asking her to pay more than Rs 1.2 crore dues for the assessment year 2012-13 under the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act (MVAT) Act. Sharma also challenged the assessment and demands for dues for three subsequent years.
On Thursday, when two fresh petitions filed by her now came up before the HC challenging the 2012-13 and 2013-14 assessment orders, the bench of Justices Nitin Jamdar and Abhay Ahuja gave the department two weeks’ time to respond and posted it for hearing on February 6. Additional government pleader Jyoti Chavan for the state and the authorities under the MVAT Act sought time to file a reply.
