The actor most famous for playing Ron Weasley will be required to pay millions back in taxes after using a loophole once employed by the Beatles.

Grint, now 36, argued that a £4.5 million payment he received from a company managing his business affairs was a capital asset and should be taxed as such.

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.
