Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Political Parties and Elections Bill.

Political Parties and Elections Bill

I am finding it difficult to envisage the practical circumstances in which the hon. Gentleman's example would apply. It seems to me that people making a claim to the tax authorities would know what they had claimed to be their resident or non-resident status. I cannot imagine circumstances in which someone would say to the tax authorities "Yes, I am resident" and then, strangely, turned out to be non-resident. I cannot see what tax advantage there could be for the taxpayer in such circumstances.
