Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Rupert Grint, famous for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, has been ordered to pay £1.8 million to HMRC after a tribunal upheld that £4.5 million in income from the 2011-2012 tax year should be taxed as regular income instead of capital gains. The ruling emerged from a lengthy dispute over how Grint classified his earnings from the franchise. Grint has faced previous tax-related legal challenges, including a prior loss involving a £1 million tax refund. Grint has earned an estimated £24 million from his time in the franchise.
