Former Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has lost a legal battle and was ordered to pay £1.8 million in tax after an investigation into his 2011-12 tax return revealed that a £4.5 million fee for his business rights should have been classified as income, not capital gains.
Former Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has been ordered to pay £1.8m in tax. The Ron Weasley actor lost a legal battle with HM Revenue and Customs in 2019 and was ordered to pay the sum following an investigation into his tax return from the 2011-12 tax year. Grint had received a £4.
Lawyers for Mr Grint appealed against HMRC's decision at a hearing in the First-Tier Tribunal in London in November and December 2022. They argued the right amount of tax had been paid. But in a ruling Tribunal Judge Harriet Morgan dismissed the appeal. She found the sum 'is taxable as income' and said the money 'derived substantially the whole of its value from the activities of Mr Grint', which was 'otherwise realised' as income in the 2011/12 tax year.
