Rupert Grint, known for his role as Ron Weasley in the 'Harry Potter' films, has been ordered to pay a $2.3 million tax bill after losing a legal battle with the UK's tax authority. The dispute arose from Grint's classification of $5.7 million in residuals as a capital asset rather than income, which is taxed at a higher rate. Despite appealing, a tribunal judge ruled that the earnings were taxable as income, marking another legal setback for Grint, who previously lost a separate tax refund case.
