Frodo Baggins may have evaded the all-seeing Eye of Sauron in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings trilogy, but the writer’s descendants haven’t been able to escape the attention of the taxman.
Following a ten-year wrangle over the spoils from Hollywood adaptations of the novelist’s classics, the Tolkien estate has agreed to pay more than £7million to HM Revenue & Customs.
The dispute is understood to involve an out-of-court settlement in 2008
