Zack Polanski has admitted to his political party, the Green Party, that he may have failed to pay council tax on a houseboat moored in Hackney, England, despite having claimed it was his primary residence. A spokesperson from the party stated that Polanski had taken steps to address any potential tax issues and apologized sincerely for the mistake. The party highlighted that the boat was liable for council tax when used as a person's primary residence, according to legal expert Dan Neidle. Neidle noted that if Polanski's residence was indeed his main home, his partner would have paid the tax separately. However, recent reports suggest that Polanski and his partner have occasionally used the marina as their living space, with both appearing in local laundries and voting records registered there. The Times newspaper questioned whether they paid the tax over the past three years, citing advertisements for the boat and a recurring laundry agreement. The Green Party defended Polanski’s situation, stating that he only stayed on the boat sporadically and that the couple moved to another area after leaving the community. While some speculate that the boat was his sole residence, the party remains cautious, emphasizing that security measures prevent public disclosure of his address.
