Court comes down hard on actor Vijay for seeking tax exemption for his Rolls Royce Ghost

The Hindu  

The Madras High Court has dismissed a writ petition filed by actor Joseph Vijay in 2012, seeking exemption of Entry Tax for his Rolls Royce Ghost car, imported from England. The petitioner, who is a reputed cine actor, is expected to pay the tax promptly and punctually,” the judge said. But, they are evading tax and acting in a manner which is not in consonance with the provisions of the Statutes.” The constitutional goal of social justice as enshrined in the preamble of the Constitution and the spirit of Article 38 could be achieved only if people of stature pay taxes punctually and act as real heroes in their life. “Filing a writ petition, avoiding payment of Entry tax and keeping the writ petition pending for about nine years, can never be appreciated and it is not made clear even now, whether the Entry tax as applicable has been paid by the petitioner or not.
