Rupert Grint Faces $2.3 Million Tax Bill After Losing Case Against British Tax Authorities

Rupert Grint, the former “Harry Potter” film actor, is facing a £1.8 million ($2.3 million) debt after losing a legal battle with the tax authorities. Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the magical film trilogy, was compelled to pay the money in 2019 after H.M. Revenue and Customs, the United Kingdom’s tax office, scrutinized his tax return from seven years prior.

The agency claimed Grint incorrectly classified 4.5 million pounds in film residuals—money from DVD sales, TV syndication, streaming rights, and other sources—as a capital asset rather than income, which is taxed at a considerably higher rate.

Grint’s lawyers filed an appeal, but after years of dispute, a tribunal judge ruled against him this week. Judge Harriet Morgan ruled that the money “derived substantially the whole of its value from the activities of Mr. Grint” and, therefore, “taxable as income.” In 2019, the actor lost a separate court battle for a £1 million tax refund.

Why Did Rupert Grint Almost Leave Harry Potter?

In a 2019 interview, Rupert Grint, who portrayed Ron Weasley in “Harry Potter” from 11, confessed that he pondered abandoning the series. He claimed this happened after the fourth film because of the stress it was bringing him. Rupert Grint revealed in an interview with the Independent that becoming a member of the “Harry Potter” franchise was a considerable sacrifice.

He explained that he took anonymity for granted and lost out on ordinary activities such as going out. Grint stated that everything seemed strange and unsettling, and there were occasions when he considered quitting.

Rupert Grint revealed that after finishing his GCSEs, a standardized test in Britain, he was thinking about abandoning acting. He said he was unsure whether to continue because it seemed like a burden. However, Grint persevered to the end of the series but faced a similar issue after finishing it. 

What Did Rupert Grint Do After Harry Potter?

Rupert decided to return to acting after taking a year break after the conclusion of “Harry Potter.” At first, he was offered a lot of material comparable to his sidekick role in the wizarding franchise, but the actor declined in favor of more edgy and serious projects.

In his post-Potter career, he appeared in the World War II film “Into the Night” in 2012, and in 2013, he made his theatrical debut in a revival of Jez Butterworth’s play “Mojo.” Since then, he has had an active TV career, including roles in the sitcoms “Sick Note” and “Snatch.” Since 2019, Grint has played Julian Pearce in the psychological horror series “Servant” on Apple TV+.

The series has received high accolades from critics, and the fourth and final season was renewed in December 2021. Grint appeared in Guillermo del Toro’s “Cabinet of Curiosities”, a Netflix anthology series, and M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller” Knock at the Cabin”, which was released in 2023. 

He also reunited with several “Harry Potter” cast members for an HBO Max special titled “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts,” which debuted on January 1, 2022.

What Is Rupert Grint’s Net Worth?

Rupert Grint is an English actor with a net worth of $50 million. Grint was placed 16th among the Top 20 Earners Under the Age of 25 in 2007. He is also one of the world’s highest-grossing actors. Grint made $4 million for the 2007 film “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.”

He then received $30 million for “Deathly Hallows” Parts 1 and 2. After accounting for inflation, Grint received at least $70 million in base wages from “Harry Potter” alone. The actor is also interested in various charitable causes.

In 2010, he participated in the Wacky Rally, which raised funds for Britain’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and a design competition benefiting Luton’s Keech Hospice Care. Grint has made several Hertfordshire property investments throughout the years.

He lives in an 18th-century mansion on 22 acres, which he purchased for $7 million. The home has six bedroom suites and an indoor and outdoor pool. Grint reportedly bought a $4.4 million home nearby for his parents, Nigel and Joanne. In addition, Grint and his father co-own a $550,000 house, which they refurbished and now rent out.
