LONDON (AP) — Former “Harry Potter” film actor Rupert Grint faces a 1.8 million-pound ($2.3 million) bill after he lost a legal battle with the tax authorities.Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the magical film franchise, was ordered to pay the money in 2019 after H.M. Revenue and Customs, the U.K.

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has been ordered to pay £1.8million in tax after losing a legal dispute with HM Revenue & Customs.The actor, who starred as Ron Weasley in all eight films, was originally told to pay the sum in 2019 after an HMRC investigation disputed one of his tax returns.Grint’s lawyers launched an appeal, arguing that money he received from a company had been correctly taxed as a capital asset, but HMRC said it should have been taxed as income at a higher rate.As reported by the BBC, Grint’s claim has been dismissed by a tax tribunal judge and he will now have to pay a total fee of £1.8million.During the 2011-2012 tax year, Grint received £4.5million from a company that managed his business, and for which he was the sole shareholder. The payment was described as being “likely residual income and bonuses” for the Harry Potter films.The actor argued he could pay capital gains tax on the sum at a rate of 10%, rather than income tax and national insurance at a top rate of 52%.In the ruling, tribunal judge Harriet Morgan dismissed Grint’s appeal and said the money “derived substantially the whole of its value from the activities of Mr Grint”, which was “otherwise realised” as income.In 2019, the actor lost another, separate court case concerning a £1million tax refund.In other news, Warner Bros.
