===Tax affairs===
In 2016, Grint lost an appeal against [[HM Revenue and Customs|HMRC]]'s decision to block his attempt to change his accounting date.<ref name="2016-case">{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/aug/09/harry-potter-actor-rupert-grint-loses-1m-tax-refund-case|title=Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint loses £1m tax refund case|work=The Guardian|date=9 August 2016|access-date=30 November 2024}}</ref> This move was intended to reduce his tax liability by deferring income into a lower tax year.<ref name="2016-case"/> At that time, the actor was calculated to have earned around £24 million from the Harry Potter franchise.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Sawer |first=Patrick |date=2024-11-29 |title=Rupert Grint hit with £1.8m tax bill after falling foul of Beatles clause |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11/29/rupert-grint-loses-tax-row-falling-foul-beatles-clause-hmrc/ |access-date=2024-12-03 |work=The Telegraph |language=en-GB |issn=0307-1235}}</ref> However, HMRC successfully argued that the change was motivated by tax avoidance rather than legitimate business reasons.<ref name="2016-case"/>

In 2019, HMRC brought another case against Grint.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0rgkkpl0dno|title=Rupert Grint to pay £1.8m after losing tax battle|work=BBC News|first=Annabel|last=Rackham|date=29 November 2024|access-date=30 November 2024}}</ref> He was ordered to pay an additional £1.8 million in tax after losing the legal battle with HMRC. The tax authority argued that a £4.5 million sum he received should be classified as income rather than as a capital asset which is subject to much lower tax rate. This ruling increased his tax liability for the 2011–12 tax year.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://theguardian.com/film/2024/nov/30/rupert-grint-taxes-loses-legal-dispute|title=Rupert Grint ordered to pay £1.8m in taxes after losing legal dispute|work=The Guardian|first=Tom|last=Ambrose|date=30 November 2024|access-date=30 November 2024}}</ref> Grint later lost his appeal claim and was ordered to pay £1.8 million of tax liability and legal costs.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://apnews.com/article/rupert-grint-tax-lawsuit-bill-million-bebabb2e0d391a46a6c11fdc7ac81c41|title=Magic can't save 'Harry Potter' star Rupert Grint from a $2.3 million tax bill|work=Associated Press|date=30 November 2024|access-date=30 November 2024}}</ref>
