2. The Beatles Clause
Tax isn’t just about numbers, it’s about power, politics and history. Dan Neidle explores how it shapes our world in ways you never imagined.
Harry Potter star, Rupert Grint, thought he’d found a way to cut his tax bill, until an obscure law tripped him up. That law? One created because of The Beatles.
But why were the Fab Four so desperate to avoid tax? And how did their money-saving scheme end with them losing control of their own music? A story of rock, rebellion, and the long arm of the taxman.
