Tilda Swinton: ‘Exceptional’ collection of Mughal art accepted in lieu of inheritance tax on estate of Scottish actor’s father
An “exceptional” collection of 18th century Mughal Empire artworks from the estate of Tilda Swinton’s father has been accepted in lieu of millions of pounds owed in inheritance tax.
The UK Government accepted the art, which features paintings and lacquer work, as payment for £2,267,370 of tax owed by the Scottish actor’s family following the death of her father, Sir John Swinton, in 2018.
