December 3, 2024: Rupert Grint is best known for playing Ron Weasley in the movie Ron Weasley harry potter Series, was ordered to pay £1.8 million (Rs 183.4 crore) in tax after losing a long-running legal battle with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The case revolves around a £4.5m payment he received in 2011-12, which Grint argued was a “capital asset” taxable under capital gains rules. However, the court ruled that this amount was income and therefore subject to a higher tax rate.
Case details
The £4.5m payment was made by a company managing Grint’s business interests, which his legal team claimed represented a record of his rights, goodwill and professional activities. They argue it should be classified as a capital asset and subject to a lower tax rate. However, Tax Court Judge Harriet Morgan disagreed, holding that the payment was derived almost entirely from Grint’s professional employment and was therefore properly classified as income.
Grint’s lawyers appealed, insisting he had paid the correct taxes. Despite this, the court upheld HMRC’s position, resulting in the actor paying a whopping £1.8 million in additional tax.
This is not the first time Grint has faced tax challenges. In 2019, he lost another £1 million tax dispute with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
