Rupert Grint Faces Hefty Tax Bill Despite 'Harry Potter' Fame
Rupert Grint, known for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, has been ordered to pay £1.8 million in taxes after losing a legal battle with HM Revenue & Customs. The dispute arose over a £4.5 million payment Grint received during the 2011-2012 tax year, which he argued should be taxed as a capital asset at a lower rate. However, a tax tribunal judge ruled that the payment should be taxed as income, dismissing Grint's appeal.
