It’s been said that there are two certainties in life: death and taxes. That might be hard to explain to 3-year old Lara Alana, star of her own reality TV show Lara Oh Lara. Newspaper BH Ahad reports that although the youngster is under 18, it won’t exempt her from paying taxes this year.

The popular toddler has over 3 million Instagram followers and a robust YouTube channel. Her parents, TV host and actor Awal Ashaari and Scha Alyahya, have stated that they are working with a manager to ensure that their daughter complies with the law. Her mother added that, “Lara already has her own income tax file with the Inland Revenue Board and will start paying this year.”

Other child actors who will be forced to pay taxes this year include 10-year old Puteri Balqis, and 12-year old Mia Sara.

Well, it was fun while it lasted, kids.
