Fair point. I've met him and can say with confidence he is a Jedi Master or, at the very least, Karate Kid status when it comes to thespianism.

[barrydidit]

Well, extraordinary circumstances, there's a thespian involved

Fair point. I've met him and can say with confidence he knows a lot about thespianism.

[MarillionFan]

It's all a load of Hufflepuff.

"The actor is objecting to a decision by tax inspectors to prevent him extending the end-date of one set of accounts from 31 July 2009 to 5 April 2010 — the eve of the new tax year in which a 50% top rate of tax came into force. "

"HMRC is disputing Grint’s choice of accounting date and had rejected the actor’s attempt to select 5 April 2010, the year that a 50% top rate of tax was introduced. "

How did that help him reduce tax bill, if he picked period when 50% tax started?

They said Year, so I'm guessing he tried to state prior tax year, in the same year .
