See the actual tax return?
I'm going to waste listeners' time now by obsessively talking about Churchill because there's an amazing story.
So Churchill, it wasn't so much that he was in trouble.
He just spent money as soon as he made it, never held anything back and could never pay his tax.
And this came to a complete head
um in i think in the 30s and he was about to be bankrupt so he summoned the head of hmrc had a meeting with the head of hmrc and planned with the head of hmrc a tax avoidance strategy that would mean that he wouldn't in fact have a tax liability
No, he converted what should have been royalty income from his books into a capital gain that at the time was completely untaxed.
You're thinking about a separate time when he would have been taken to what would now be a tax tribunal and HMRC were pressured into dropping it.
No, no, this was a separate thing where he met with the head of HMRC and devised a tax avoidance structure.
Churchill was an amazing, complicated figure.
I should say, this is the Times' story, primarily.
The Times did the running on this.
We did a very detailed analysis, as we can, long form, in the way that a newspaper can't.
But all the credit goes to the Times for the story.
The basic story is super simple.
Mr. Polanski lived on an Arab boat for three years.
That was his main residence.
He didn't pay council tax.
And I think most people would expect that if you're living on a boat that's moored in one place for three years and that's your home, you should pay council tax.
He didn't.
