To be honest, that sounds like a bit of an urban myth to me! I wouldn't have thought that they could use one's choice of words to prove anything, not concretely so, anyway.

In any case, there is a specific form for tax purposes for British citizens leaving the UK. It's simply called "Leaving the UK". If one has submitted this, then the Inland Revenue wouldn't have a leg to stand on, and one wouldn't need to prove anything else. If one has not submitted this, then clearly they could argue that one hadn't in fact left the UK for tax purposes.
