Actor Rupert Grint, known for portraying Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter series, has been mandated to pay £1.8 million in taxes after losing a legal dispute with HM Revenue & Customs. The tribunal ruled that funds Grint received from his business should be taxed as income rather than capital gains. Grint’s appeal argued otherwise but was dismissed by judge Harriet Morgan, who stated the payments were significantly tied to Grint’s activities. This ruling follows a prior court case involving a £1 million tax refund claim that Grint also lost.
