The UK court sentenced actor Rupert Grint, 36, to pay a debt of more than R$13 million in taxes.
Known worldwide for playing the wizard Ron in the Harry Potter franchise, the Briton allegedly incorrectly declared R$34 million that he raised from DVD sales and the granting of copyrights to streamingamong other income generated by the films.
According to judge Harriet Morgan, instead of the amount being recorded as “income”, it was categorized by the actor as “capital asset”, an error that resulted in lower tax payments.

Grint had already been convicted in 2019, after the IRS analyzed his 2012 income tax returns. At the time, his lawyers appealed, and the final decision was announced this week.
According to the Associated Press news agency, the character Rony earned the actor more than R$182.5 million in the eight films in the saga.
