Court ruling
“Harry Potter” star must pay millions of euros in back taxes
"Harry Potter" star Rupert Grint must pay 1.8 million pounds (just under 2.2 million euros) in back taxes. This was the ruling of a court in London in a dispute between the British actor and the relevant tax authority, HMRC, as reported by the British news agency PA.
The 36-year-old played Harry Potter's best friend Ron Weasley in the series, whose trademark was the red Weasley hair.
2011/12 tax year under investigation
Grint had already been ordered to pay the sum in 2019 after HMRC launched an investigation into his tax return for the 2011/12 tax year (April 5).
The actor had received £4.5 million from a company that managed his business affairs as "consideration for rights, records and goodwill".
In his opinion, this income was subject to capital gains tax. However, HMRC argued that income tax would have been due on the sum. Judge Harriet Morgan has now agreed, as PA further reported.
