Beyoncé contests claim that she owes $2.7million in unpaid tax and penalties
Beyoncé has filed a petition challenging a claim made by the US federal tax office that she owes $2.7million (£2.1million) in unpaid tax and penalties.The filing argues that several errors were made in the determinations of the singer’s 2018 and 2019 tax returns.According to the petition addressed to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which was seen by Forbes, Beyoncé owes $805,850 (£640,811.92) in additional tax for 2018, along with $161,170 (£128,162.38) in penalties. She also allegedly owes $1,442,747 (£912,311.02) in 2019, as well as $288,549.40 (£229454.48) in penalties.However, Beyoncé has argued that the IRS overlooked millions of dollars in charitable donations she made during those two years, including an $868,766 (£690,842.72) contribution to an undisclosed charity in 2018.
