United KingdomZack Polanski, the leader of the UK's Green Party, has stated that he will pay any council tax he may owe related to his time living on a houseboat in London. He claims he believed he was not liable for the tax while residing on the boat but acknowledges there could be a debt of between £3,000 and £4,000. The Waltham Forest Council has not yet determined whether he owes the tax, citing complex factors related to moorings and business rates. Polanski mentioned that the council suggested business rates might apply instead of council tax, which he initially assumed. The Greater London Authority cleared him of wrongdoing last month after a complaint, and the Green Party acknowledged that Polanski may have failed to pay the tax and has since apologized and taken steps to settle any potential debt.
