Taxes and costs on buying a home or a car.
Once you have decided to buy a home or a car, this is where you count what it costs beyond the price. Acquisition tax is not one rate. The number of homes you own, whether the area is an adjustment zone, and floor area set the rate together. Add registration costs and bond purchases to get the money you actually need to have ready.

Acquisition tax follows the balance payment date, not the contract date
The time of acquisition is, in principle, the day the balance is paid. If the rules change between the contract and the balance payment, which set applies changes. If you signed while rates were changing, look at the effective date and the balance date together.
