2. The Beatles Clause

Tax isn鈥檛 just about numbers, it鈥檚 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鈥檇 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.

Producer: Tom Pooley
A Tempo+Talker production for 成人快手 Radio 4
