Paul Hogan may have won over American audiences for his portrayal of an Australian roughneck in Crocodile Dundee, but he's fallen out of favor with the taxman in his native land down under.

After a newspaper report surfaced claiming that the actor was under investigation on tax evasion charges, the 68-year-old Hogan steadfastly denied that he has failed to pay his taxes and issued a challenge to Australian authorities, who sought assistance from the United States' Internal Revenue Service to track him down in America. Hogan is currently living in Santa Barbara. The actor has plans to return to his home turf in September to film a movie and has not nixed the job in light of these allegations.
