Nicolas Cage ‘faces $6.2M tax bill’
By ANIMonday, August 3, 2009
WASHINGTON - U.S tax officials have reportedly demanded Nicolas Cage a whopping 6.2 million dollars.
The actor had allegedly failed to keep up with his taxes in 2007, which eventually made Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials to take their case to a court in Louisiana.
The ‘National Treasure’ star has a home in state, which he’s apparently trying to sell in a bid to recoup the cash, reports Contactmusic.
According to the Detroit News, IRS officials filed tax lien documents against Cage in Orleans District Court on 14 July, alleging he failed to pay 6,257,005 dollars to cover his income tax last year.
Cage has faced similar problems in the past too.
He reportedly agreed to pay 660,000 dollars plus interest in back taxes and penalties in September 2008, following allegations of improperly deducted personal expenses. (ANI)
