Guess what? Even wizards aren’t immune to tax troubles! 🧙♂️
Rupert Grint, best known for his iconic role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter series, has found himself in the middle of a financial storm. The actor has been ordered to pay £1.8 million in taxes after losing a legal battle with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
The dispute? A £4.5 million payment from 2011-2012. Grint argued it should be taxed as a capital gain at a lower 10% rate. But the tax tribunal ruled otherwise, stating it qualified as income, taxed at a much higher rate of 52%. Judge Harriet Morgan made it clear—the payment’s value came directly from Grint’s work.
This isn’t Rupert’s first tax hiccup. In 2019, he also lost a case involving a £1 million tax refund.
Still Thriving Beyond the Drama
While this ruling is a major setback, Rupert’s career remains strong. Post-Potter, he’s made his mark in shows like Apple TV’s Servant and films such as Knock at the Cabin. Fans are loving his journey beyond Hogwarts!
Why This Matters
HMRC’s tough stance on celebrity earnings reminds us that even high-profile figures face strict scrutiny when it comes to taxes. Rupert’s case serves as a lesson: clear tax reporting is essential, no matter how big or small the amount.
