Apologies, shoddy phrasing below:

Arguably, you could model this evolution as two distinct concepts, related by an amending action, though colloquially, the notion of say, "Tax Payer" would remain constant. Modeling the changing definitions of "Tax Payer" is definitely of use to the intended consumer of said legal concepts and from their point of view, there is only one concept under consideration.

... though colloquially the referent for the end user, "Tax Payer" might remain constant, and you might then select the appropriate "meaning" for the term according to the time period in which one is interested (and the relevant definition applies). 

As a government / tax collection agency / corporation / tax professoinal, I might then be interested in the extension of "Tax Payer" in particular periods of time, according to the appropriate / relevant definitions.

Cheers,

Ali
