Anushka Sharma liable to pay 2.8 crore sales tax as she is the ‘first owner of copyrights of performances,’ says Sales Department

Anushka has filed four petitions challenging four orders passed by the Deputy Commissioner of Sales Tax and demanded tax assessment years between 2012 to 2016 under Maharashtra Value Added Act. The actress’s petition stated that the assessing officer erroneously held that by endorsing products, anchoring award functions or being present there, she acquired copyrights, but copyrights always remained with the producer. However, now, the sales department has responded to her contention.
