Yuvraj Singh didn't evade service tax: mother
New Delhi, Jul 23: Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh's mother Shabnam today denied reports that the dashing batsman owes a whopping 96.43 lakh service tax on his income from the first and second Indian Premier League season.
Denying reports that Yuvraj hid his IPL income from the Income Tax department, Shabnam said the King's XI Punjab batsman was paid for only playing and not for only promotional activity.
"The fact is that during the IPL, Yuvraj's agreement with M/s KPH Dream Cricket Pvt Ltd. entitled him to a certain sum which was paid to him only for his services of playing for the team. Therefore, there is no breakup of earnings as mentioned in the news report," she said in a statement.
