‘Harry Potter’ Actor Rupert Grint Confronts $2.3 Million Tax Debt – NBC New York

Former “Harry Potter” star Rupert Grint has been hit with a 1.8 million-pound tax bill after losing a legal battle with the U.K. tax authorities. The actor, best known for playing Ron Weasley in the beloved film franchise, incorrectly classified residuals from the movies as a capital asset rather than income, resulting in a higher tax rate. After years of appeal, a tribunal judge ruled against Grint, stating that the money should be taxed as income. Grint, who earned around 24 million pounds from his role in the Harry Potter films, previously lost a separate court battle over a 1 million pound tax refund in 2019. The 36-year-old actor now faces a hefty bill and a lesson in tax management.
