Nicolas Cage gets $6.2 mn tax bill

LOS ANGELES - Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage is reportedly facing legal action by US tax officials over non-payment $6.2 million in income tax.

The star has been accused of failing to keep up with his taxes in 2007 and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials have taken their case to a court in Louisiana, reports contactmusic.com.

IRS officials had filed documents against Cage in court July 14 and alleged that he had failed to pay the amount two years back.

This is not Cage’s first instance of tax evasion. He had apparently agreed to pay over $660,000 with interest in back taxes and penalties in September 2008 following allegations of improperly deducted personal expenses.
