Rupert Grint Ordered to Pay £1.8M in Taxes

News summary

Rupert Grint, known for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, has been ordered to pay £1.8 million ($2.3 million) in taxes following a protracted legal battle with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) over his 2011-12 tax filings. The tax dispute centered around £4.5 million Grint received, which he claimed was a 'capital asset' subject to capital gains tax, but HMRC successfully argued it should be taxed as regular income. Despite appeals, Judge Harriet Morgan ruled against Grint, concluding that the earnings derived substantially from Grint's activities and should be classified as income. This ruling underscores HMRC's strict stance on the taxation of entertainment and intellectual property earnings. Grint previously lost another tax case in 2019 over a £1 million refund. These issues highlight challenges celebrities may face in managing complex financial and tax obligations.
