      <image:caption>These are illustrations of the basic calculation, before any applicable exemption or additional charge. Some homes also fall within a separate national solidarity tax, commonly called the luxury-home tax.

This is a separate calculation from ordinary municipal property tax, so a home’s sale price alone does not establish the result.</image:caption>
