Harry Potter Star Rupert Grint Ordered to Pay £1.8 Million in Tax Dispute Over £4.5 Million Residuals
Nov 30, 2024, 01:41 PM
Rupert Grint, the actor known for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter film series, has been ordered to pay £1.8 million in back taxes after losing a legal battle with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) in the UK. The dispute centered around his 2011-12 tax return, where HMRC argued that Grint had wrongly classified £4.5 million in residuals from the Harry Potter movies—including income from DVD sales, TV syndication, streaming rights, and other sources—as a capital asset rather than income, which is subject to a higher tax rate. The legal proceedings have been ongoing since 2019, culminating in the recent judgment against Grint.
