As soon as this was announced, people once again started calling him Canada Kumar. While some supported him saying he is contributing so much to India, there were others who trolled him.
For the unversed, Akshay Kumat has a Canadian passport.
cause foreign citizens need to pay higher tax rate?

No, he pays tax @ same rates which other Indian residents are paying because he is as per definition of IT Act 1961 is a RESIDENT of India. His presence in India makes him RESIDENT.

Nhi sabse jyada Tax Actor mein Akshay hi deta hai kyu ki wo ek foreigner hai jo india kamane aaya hai aur ek foreigner ko hi jyada tax dene hote hai taki wo apna dhandha kar ske us desh mein. ? #Canada

#AkshayKumar paji earning money in India. So tax to dena padega. Aur foreigner ko tax sabse pehle dena padta hai. Nahin to visa cancel ho jata hai.
¡ª Shivaay Chauhan (@ShivaayAkkian) July 24, 2022
But fact ye hai ki wo ek Canadian hai. And India mein vote dene ki right nahin hai.

There was once so much ambiguity around Akshay Kumar's citizenship yhat people including scriptwriter Apurva Asrani once questioned his eligibility for National Award win.
Yes, this is a very important question. Are Canadian citizens eligible for India's National Awards? The year (2016) Akshay Kumar won 'Best Actor', we were expecting Manoj Bajpayee to win for Aligarh. If the jury/ministry has made an error in Kumar's case, will there be a revote?? https://t.co/CvFRzw5aXS

In 2019 as well, Askshay Kumar said that he was a tax-payer in India and intended to make the country 'stronger and stronger.'
He was quoted as saying by ANI, "Really don¡¯t understand unwarranted interest and negativity about my citizenship. I have never hidden or denied that I hold a Canadian passport. It is also equally true that I have not visited Canada in the last seven years. I work in India, and pay all my taxes in India".

When Akshay appeared on the recent episode of Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan, he was about online trolling, to which he replied, "At the most, they write about Canada. Which I don't care". When KJo said that he is called Canada Kumar, he said, "Yeah Canada Kumar. Okay, call me that".
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is busy shooting for Jaswant Singh Gill biopic in the UK
