Questions had arisen about whether the houseboat constituted his primary residence. A spokesperson for the Green Party described the situation as an “unintentional mistake” and confirmed that Polanski had “immediately taken steps” to settle any outstanding council tax. Previously, the party told the Times that Polanski rented a room at another address where council tax was included, and that he only stayed on the boat occasionally.
