A statement issued by her accountants adds: "Katrina is fully co-operating with the (tax) department, whom she holds in high regard."
Kaif is said to earn $670,000 (£446,670) per film.

An opera, based on the life of late model Anna Nicole Smith, could just be the most X-rated opera ever seen in the Royal Opera House, with its lurid sex scenes and foul language. The storyline covers everything from the late model’s drug abuse to her relationship with J. Howard Marshall, the millionaire octogenarian that she married in 1994, just a year before his death.
Critics are already citing one scene as particularly shocking, in which the heroine performs oral sex on her wheelchair-bound boyfriend. It has been composed and conceived by Mark-Anthony Turnage, and the man behind the lyrics is Richard Thomas, the librettist who also wrote 2003’s ‘Jerry Springer: The Opera’.
According to the Times Magazine, Thomas, 60, says that ‘Anna Nicole’ delivers the same kind of drama and comedy as the grand operas of the 19th century. “A lot of people say: ‘Oh, but do you really think Anna Nicole deserves an opera?” the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.
“I say yes, she’s more deserving of an opera than any individual who has ever lived. That’s my line because I’m sick of that snobbery. Anna Nicole is grand opera, just like those of old with a mix of comedy and horror,” he stated.
The Royal Opera House is hoping that the subject matter and risque content will attract a younger audience, and has even lowered its prices with a maximum of 75 pounds to reflect that.Tags:

Kim Kardashian's brother Rob has been offered 45,000 dollars to pose nude for Playgirl. "Rob is a perfect example of the classic Playgirl model," the New York Daily News quoted Daniel Nardicio, a publicist for the magazine, as telling E! News.
"We'd be proud to have him join the ranks of other quasi-celebs to strip for Playgirl," Nardicio said. The mag has even promised to sweeten the deal by 15,000 dollars if the "adorable" Rob gets shy to accept the offer. Stripping for Playgirl is not so easy as it seems, one has to be trained to be camera-ready.
"I'd bring him to N.Y.C. to work with my trainer for a few weeks though, as he looks like he could use a few weeks prep before the shoot," Nardicio
Singer Beyonce Knowles reveals she was a virgin until she met her husband Jay-Z.
"People would be surprised as to the lack of experiences I've had. When I was 12 or 13 I had my first boyfriend, and he was my boyfriend until I was 17. At that age, that was a long time. I've always been very loyal and a little more mature," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.
"Though I was too young for it to really be a boyfriend - we didn't live together, we didn't, you know...That was my only experience with a guy, and since then I've only had one other boyfriend in my life - Jay."
Beyonce who married Jay-Z in 2008 has revealed in the past that her friendships with women have stopped her from getting tied up in unhealthy relationships with men.
"I think I am a feminist in a way. It's not something I consciously decided I was going to be; perhaps it's because I grew up in a singing group with other women, and that was so helpful to me. It kept me out of so much trouble and out of bad relationships," she said.

Jennifer Aniston is apparently planning to start a family.
The former 'Friends' star reportedly told friends she is going "full steam ahead" to have a baby this year, reports Stuff.co.nz.
It has been claimed the 41-year-old star - who is currently single - is considering either adoption or using a surrogate mother, after the processes proved successful for other famous faces.
"Jen has been weighing up all her options, everything from using a surrogate to finding a suitable sperm donor. She's determined to go full steam ahead with becoming a mum," a source told National Enquirer.
"Jen sees this as the perfect time in her life to have a child. Right now, she prefers the idea of adoption, but using a surrogate like Sarah Jessica Parker did is also a possibility.
"And single mom Sandra Bullock has become a kind of role model for Jen since she adopted her baby a year ago," the source said.
Jennifer has been spending increasing amounts of time with Courteney and her 6-year-old daughter Coco since Courteney announced a trial separation from her husband David Arquette.
The former 'Friends' co-stars are believed to have celebrated Christmas together and being around a child over the holiday season made Jennifer realize she is ready to have one of her own.
"Jen was overwhelmed by the love shared between mom and daughter - and it brought out all her maternal instincts," the source said.
"She loved hanging out with Coco, playing with her and chatting to her. It just emphasised to her how much she needs to be a mom herself," added the source.
Actor Johnny Depp has revealed how he was attacked by actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s pet bulldog, which he had agreed to look after, while the couple went out for a romantic dinner.
Depp, 47, agreed to look after 12-and-a-half stone pet pooch Jacques while the couple went out at the time his and Jolie’s latest movie The Tourist was being filmed.
“Foolishly I was persuaded to look after Jacques for a night. He’s a huge bulldog. At first I had a terrible feeling, because Jacques smelt horrible,” the Sun quoted him as saying.
“But then I told myself, ‘Come on, you will survive one night’. Everything was cool - until I sat down on the bed to take my shoes off. Jacques pounced on me from behind and kept jumping around on me. He’s not small. Around 175lbs of dog was hurled at me, which felt like about 300lbs. I shouted for help and luckily someone came to take that beast off me,” he added.
