Transient lingual papillitis Transient lingual papillitis ( also termed fungiform papillary glossitis , eruptive lingual papillitis , or colloquially , lie bumps ) , are painful , hypertrophic , red and white papillae on the tongue . Cause ( edit ) The name `` lie bumps '' is a result of a myth that telling lies would cause them . However , very little has been written about this condition in scientific articles or textbooks and scientific studies have failed to produce a definite cause . Possible causes include : `` stress , gastrointestinal upset , menstruation , acidic or sour food , smoking , and local trauma '' ( direct physical irritation ) of the tongue . Lie bumps are often caused by the taste bud ( s ) splitting . These bumps are small , white bumps on the base of the tongue . They are likely to be the result of transient lingual papillitis ( TLP ) . This condition is limited to the upper ( dorsal ) surface of the tongue , affecting some of the tiny bumps on the tongue known as the fungiform papillae , what we commonly call the `` taste buds . '' TLP is a harmless problem . These bumps can become notably red or white and are quite tender for up to several days . While the cause of TLP is not known with certainty , most experts feel that local accidental trauma ( rubbing , scraping or biting ) is a major factor ; however , contact reactions to things like certain foods have also been suggested . Lie bumps are not contagious and the discomfort is relatively minor . Typically these lesions heal within a few days with no treatment , though a doctor may refer a patient to an oral pathologist in prolonged cases . Treatments ( edit ) There are no specific treatments for this problem , other than using ice or numbing medicines to ease the pain .

The event is highlighted by the Royal Rumble match , a battle royal whose participants enter at timed intervals . The Greatest Royal Rumble included the largest version of the match to date , having a total of 50 participants . On March 5 , 2018 , WWE and the Saudi General Sports Authority advertised the Greatest Royal Rumble , a live event to be held on April 27 , 2018 , at King Abdullah International Stadium , part of the King Abdullah Sports City , in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia . The event is a part of a 10 - year strategic multi-platform partnership between WWE and the Saudi General Sports Authority in support of Saudi Vision 2030 , Saudi Arabia 's social and economic reform program . On March 19 , 2018 , WWE scheduled seven championship matches for the event : the WWE Championship , Universal Championship , United States Championship , Intercontinental Championship , SmackDown Tag Team Championship , Raw Tag Team Championship and Cruiserweight Championship were to be defended at the event . As revealed on March 22 , 2018 , the event was streamed live on the WWE Network . It also aired on traditional pay - per - view in the United States and internationally . The event was also the first WWE pay - per - view to feature Arabic commentary . In the weeks leading up to the event , the WWE held tryouts in Saudi Arabia . From these tryouts , eight were selected to receive training by WWE , which would include an opportunity to earn a spot at the Greatest Royal Rumble event itself . Storylines ( edit ) The card comprised ten matches that resulted from scripted storylines and had results predetermined by WWE on the Raw and SmackDown brands . Storylines were produced on WWE 's weekly television shows , Monday Night Raw , SmackDown Live , and the cruiserweight - exclusive 205 Live . On April 9 , Brock Lesnar , who had renewed his WWE contract , was scheduled to defend the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns in a steel cage match as a rematch from WrestleMania 34 . On Raw following WrestleMania , Reigns expressed frustration about not being told about his future matches and opponents , singling out the steel cage match with Lesnar . Reigns alleged that there was a conspiracy against him . Samoa Joe , who had been out with an injury since January , came out and warned Reigns that Lesnar would beat him again . On March 26 , WWE scheduled a ladder match between then - champion The Miz , Seth Rollins , Finn Bálor , and Samoa Joe for the Intercontinental Championship . At WrestleMania 34 , The Miz lost the Intercontinental Championship to Rollins , thus making Rollins the defending champion . Both Miz and Joe were traded to SmackDown while Rollins and Bálor remained on Raw . On March 26 , Cesaro and Sheamus were scheduled to defend the Raw Tag Team Championship against The Hardy Boyz ( Jeff and Matt Hardy ) . At WrestleMania 34 , however , Cesaro and Sheamus lost the titles to Braun Strowman and 10 - year - old Nicholas . The following night on Raw , Strowman and Nicholas relinquished the titles due to Nicholas being a fourth grader . Cesaro and Sheamus demanded their titles back , but Raw General Manager Kurt Angle instead scheduled them to face the winner of the four - team Tag Team Eliminator tournament for the vacant titles at the Greatest Royal Rumble . `` Woken '' Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt won the tournament by defeating Titus Worldwide ( Apollo Crews and Titus O'Neil ) and The Revival ( Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson ) . Cesaro and Sheamus were then traded to SmackDown during the Superstar Shake - up . At WrestleMania 34 , The Bludgeon Brothers ( Harper and Rowan ) defeated The Usos ( Jey and Jimmy Uso ) and The New Day 's Big E and Kofi Kingston in a triple threat tag team match to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship . On the following SmackDown , The Usos defeated The New Day to earn a title match at Greatest Royal Rumble . A match between John Cena and Triple H was scheduled on March 26 . The Undertaker , was originally scheduled to face Rusev in a casket match , the first match of its kind in three years . Due to reasons not entirely clear , Rusev was temporarily replaced by Chris Jericho -- this was explained with Rusev 's wife Lana complaining about her husband competing in a casket match -- but eventually reinserted back into the match . Jericho was restored to his original participation in the Greatest Royal Rumble match . At WrestleMania 34 , Jinder Mahal defeated Randy Orton , Bobby Roode , and Rusev in a fatal - four way match to win the United States Championship . Mahal was then traded to Raw and lost the championship to Jeff Hardy and Mahal invoked his rematch clause for the Greatest Royal Rumble . Hardy was then traded to SmackDown the following night . At WrestleMania 34 , AJ Styles successfully defended the WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura . After the match , showed his respect to Styles but then attacked him with a low blow and a Kinshasa , turning heel . On April 17 , after repeated attacks on Styles by Nakamura , a rematch between the two was scheduled for the Greatest Royal Rumble . On the WrestleMania 34 pre-show , Cedric Alexander defeated Mustafa Ali in the WWE Cruiserweight Championship tournament final to win the vacant title . Two nights later on 205 Live , Buddy Murphy attacked the new champion during his celebration . Murphy was then scheduled to face Alexander for the title at the Greatest Royal Rumble , but he failed his mandatory weigh - in when he weighed 207 pounds , 2 pounds over the 205 pound weight limit . He was then removed from the match and banned from competing on 205 Live until he met the weight requirement . The following week , Kalisto earned a Cruiserweight Championship match at the Greatest Royal Rumble by winning a gauntlet match .

During the match , after trading finishers , and reversing each other 's finishers , Cena performed an Attitude Adjustment on Triple H , a springboard into the corner turnbuckle , followed and another Attitude Adjustment to pick up the victory . Following the match Cena thanked the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their hospitality , and expressed excitement over the event . In the following match , Cedric Alexander defended the Cruiserweight Championship against Kalisto . The match ended when Alexander countered a Salida Del Sol attempt into a Lumbar Check to retain the title . Next , the vacant Raw Tag Team Championship was contested between the team of Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy and the former champions , Cesaro and Sheamus . In the end , Hardy distracted Sheamus , allowing Wyatt to perform a Sister Abigail on him . Hardy and Wyatt then performed a wheelbarrow Twist of Fate on Sheamus to win the title . Jeff Hardy then defended the United States Championship against Jinder Mahal . In the end , Hardy performed a Swanton Bomb on Mahal to retain the title . After that , The Bludgeons Brothers defended the SmackDown Tag Team Championship against The Usos. Harper and Rowan retained their titles after performing a Double Crucifix Powerbomb on Jimmy Uso . Next , Seth Rollins defended the Intercontinental Championship against Finn Balor , Samoa Joe and The Miz in a Ladder match . Near the end of the match , Finn Balor climbed the ladder to unhook the championship , only for Rollins to leap from the top rope onto the ladder and managed to retrieve the title belt before Balor , thus retaining his championship . Later , AJ Styles defended the WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura . During the match , Nakamura resorted to various illegal tactics , such as a Low Blow , increasingly frustrating Styles . In the end , both Nakamura and Styles brawled outside of the ring only for the match to end in a double countout . Post-match Styles performed a Phenomenal Forearm over the top rope on Nakamura . After that , The Undertaker fought Rusev ( who was accompanied by Aiden English ) in a Casket match . At the end of the match , Undertaker performed a Chokeslam on Rusev and rolled him into the casket . Before he could close the lid , English attacked the Undertaker , who retailiated with another Chokeslam and a Tombstone Piledriver before putting English into the casket alongside Rusev and closing it for the victory . In the penultimate match , Brock Lesnar ( accompanied by Paul Heyman ) defended the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns in a steel cage match . Lesnar delivered multiple German Suplexes during the match , and both men kicked out of each other 's finishing moves . At one point in the match , Reigns tried to escape the cage through the door only for Heyman to slam the door on Reigns . The match ended after Reigns put Lesnar through the cage wall with a Spear , sending it onto the floor . Despite Reigns touching the floor with both feet first , the referee awarded the win to Lesnar , thereby retaining the Universal Championship . Main event ( edit ) Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler began the 50 - man Royal Rumble match as the first two entrants . Bryan survived until the final 3 , beating out Rey Mysterio for the longest time spent in a single Royal Rumble match of all time at an hour and sixteen minutes . At the end of the match , Big Cass eliminated Bryan only for Cass to then attempt a Big Boot on Braun Strowman , who ducked and knocked Cass over the top rope to win the match . Strowman also achieved the most eliminations of a single Royal Rumble match at 13 , beating out a record previously held by Roman Reigns with 12 . Post-match , Strowman received a trophy and the Greatest Royal Rumble Championship . Controversy ( edit ) See also : Women in WWE WWE had been criticized for holding the event without female wrestlers , who were unable to perform at the event due to the limited rights women have in Saudi Arabia . Triple H , WWE 's Executive Vice President of Talent , Live Events and Creative , responded to the criticism : `` I understand that people are questioning it , but you have to understand that every culture is different and just because you do n't agree with a certain aspect of it , it does n't mean it 's not a relevant culture ... You ca n't dictate to a country or a religion about how they handle things but , having said that , WWE is at the forefront of a women 's evolution in the world and what you ca n't do is effect change anywhere by staying away from it ... While women are not competing in the event , we have had discussions about that and hope that , in the next few years they will be '' . Women were in attendance for the event , though only if accompanied by a male guardian . This was a major change from previous events , which were only open to men . Associated Press noted that this is due to `` a series of social changes '' by the Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman . During the event , WWE aired a promotional video , which included WWE female wrestlers . The Saudi General Sports Authority issued an apology for `` indecent material '' that aired at the event . In addition to the women , wrestler Sami Zayn did not participate in the event as Zayn is of Syrian descent , and Saudi Arabia has strained relations with Syria . Another subject of criticism was the situation of LGBT rights in Saudi Arabia , as in Saudi Arabia homosexual intercourse is illegal and can be punished by death . Results ( edit ) No .

Bugsy Malone Bugsy Malone is a 1976 American - British musical gangster comedy film , directed by Alan Parker and featuring only child actors . Set in New York City , the film is loosely based on events in New York and Chicago from the early 1920s to 1931 during Prohibition , specifically the exploits of real - life gangsters like Al Capone and Bugs Moran , as dramatized in cinema . Parker lightened the subject matter considerably for the children 's market ; in the U.S. the film received a G rating . The film was Parker 's feature - length directorial debut , introduced actor Scott Baio , and featured a 13 - year old Jodie Foster .

Once splurged , a kid is `` all washed up ... finished '' . Speakeasy boss Fat Sam introduces himself and Bugsy Malone , a boxing promoter with no money ( `` Bugsy Malone '' ) . At Fat Sam 's speakeasy , there is much dancing and singing ( `` Fat Sam 's Grand Slam '' ) . Fat Sam is worried that his rival Dandy Dan will try to take control of the speakeasy . Blousey Brown , an aspiring singer , has come for an audition , but Sam is too distracted to see her . Bugsy meets Blousey when he trips over her luggage . He is smitten and flirts with her . Fat Sam 's is raided by Dandy Dan 's men , who shoot up the place . Dandy Dan 's men continue to attack Fat Sam 's empire , eventually taking away rackets and splurging members of Fat Sam 's gang . Fat Sam sends all his available men to see if they can track down the guns . They are trapped at a laundry and all are splurged by Dandy Dan 's gang . Bugsy returns to Fat Sam 's to arrange a new audition for Blousey . Fat Sam 's girlfriend , the chanteuse Tallulah , makes a pass at him . Although Bugsy rejects her flirtation , Tallulah plants a big kiss on Bugsy 's forehead when Blousey enters ; Blousey is jealous . Fat Sam hires Blousey after her audition , but she refuses to speak to Bugsy ( `` I 'm Feelin ' Fine '' ) . Fat Sam hires Bugsy to accompany him to a meeting with Dandy Dan . The meeting is a trap , but Bugsy helps Fat Sam escape . Gratefully , Fat Sam pays him $200 . Bugsy and Blousey reconcile and have a romantic outing on a lake ; Bugsy promises to take her to Hollywood . When he returns Sam 's car to the garage , he is attacked and his money is stolen . Bugsy is saved by Leroy Smith , who assaults the attackers and drives them away . Bugsy realizes that Leroy has the potential to be a great boxer . Bugsy introduces Leroy to Cagey Joe and helps him train ( `` So You Wanna Be a Boxer ? '' ) . Fat Sam again seeks Bugsy 's aid after his assistant Knuckles is unintentionally killed . Bugsy resists , but Fat Sam offers $400 , enough money to keep his promise to Blousey . Blousey is disappointed when she learns that Bugsy has n't bought the tickets to California yet ( `` Ordinary Fool '' ) . Bugsy and Leroy follow Dandy Dan 's men to a warehouse , where the guns are being stashed . The two of them ca n't take the place alone , so Bugsy recruits a large group of down - and - out workers at a soup kitchen ( `` Down and Out '' ) . They steal the crates of guns and take them to Fat Sam 's , arriving just as Dandy Dan 's gang arrives . Chaos ensues as a massive splurge gun fight erupts , covering everyone ( except Bugsy and Blousey ) with cream . Unarmed patrons throw cream pies . The piano player is hit from behind and falls onto the keys , striking a single bass note . The tone silences the room , and the cream - covered crowd performs in a final number ( `` You Give a Little Love '' ) . They realize they can all be friends , and Bugsy and Blousey leave for Hollywood . Cast ( edit ) Scott Baio as Bugsy Malone , an Italian - Irish ex-boxer / boxing scout .

Parker was trying to find a film project that was not `` parochial '' and decided upon an American gangster setting : `` I had four young children and we used to go to a cottage in Derbyshire at weekends . On the long , boring car journey up there , I started telling them the story of a gangster called Bugsy Malone . They 'd ask me questions and I 'd make up answers , based on my memories of watching old movie reruns as a kid . '' His eldest son suggested children should be cast as the `` heroes '' . Casting ( edit ) The director chose to cast several unknown actors in the film . To find his Fat Sam , Parker visited a Brooklyn classroom , asking for `` the naughtiest boy in class '' . The students were unanimous in selecting John Cassisi , and Parker gave him the role . Florrie Dugger ( Blousey ) was originally cast in a smaller role ; when the actress cast as Blousey suddenly grew taller than Baio , Dugger was promoted . She had been `` discovered '' at RAF Chicksands , an air force base in Bedfordshire where her American father was stationed . At the time of filming , all of the cast were under 17 years old . Parker cast Baio after he slammed down the script and stormed out of his audition . Baio later remembered : I had quit the business , because I did n't like driving into Manhattan . Well , the long and the short of it is that I wanted to play with my friends after school , but it happened to be raining that day , so I went to the city to meet with Alan Parker . I read it , but I just barely read it . I did n't even want to be there . He was English , but I did n't even know what that was . He was just this weird guy with long hair , and I did n't know what he was . ( Laughs . ) So I sort of read the script , threw it at him , and walked out the door . That was it : I 'd gotten the part before I got home . Music ( edit ) Parker chose Paul Williams to score the film in order to get a more `` palatable '' modern sound , and simply because he liked him . Williams had scored Brian De Palma 's commercial failure Phantom of the Paradise , but had also written huge pop - radio hits ( such as `` We 've Only Just Begun '' ( lyrics ) , and `` ( Just An ) Old Fashioned Love Song '' ) . In fact , Williams would soon win an Oscar for his song `` Evergreen '' from the film A Star Is Born ( 1976 ) . Williams felt that `` ... the challenge for me was to provide songs that reflected the period ... and yet maintained an energy that would hold the young audiences attention . '' According to Parker , Williams was writing while on tour , recording songs in different cities , and sending the completed tapes to Hollywood . Arriving during the first pre-shoot rehearsals , the songs had to be accepted and used as they were , with voices by Williams , Archie Hahn and others . Neither the director nor the songwriter was entirely comfortable with the results . Williams later wrote `` I 'm really proud of the work and the only thing I 've ever doubted is the choice of using adult voices . Perhaps I should have given the kids a chance to sing the songs . '' Parker also commented : `` Watching the film after all these years , this is one aspect that I find the most bizarre . Adult voices coming out of these kids ' mouths ? I had told Paul that I did n't want squeaky kids voices and he interpreted this in his own way . Anyway , as the tapes arrived , scarcely weeks away from filming , we had no choice but to go along with it ! '' Filming ( edit ) The film was rehearsed and shot in England , largely on Pinewood Studios ' `` H '' stage , with locations in Black Park Country Park ( Wexham , Buckinghamshire ) and Reading , Berkshire . The `` splurge firearm '' proved to be problematic . After initial experiments with cream - filled wax balls proved painful , Parker decided to abandon the idea of filming the firearms directly . Instead , the firearms fired ping - pong balls , and a fast cut to a victim being pelted with `` splurge '' was used to convey the impression of the rapid - firing firearms . Baio later said making the film was `` awesome '' : A kid 's fantasy : You get to dress up as gangster , you get to shoot guns that fire whipped cream , you get to drive cars with pedals that look like real cars , and you get to talk like a grown - up . I mean , you could n't ask for a better first big gig . Talk about getting you hooked on a business ! It was fantastic . Release ( edit ) Bugsy Malone was released in late 1976 to generally positive reviews . On Rotten Tomatoes , it currently holds a score of 83 % based on 18 reviews , with an average rating of 6.6 / 10 . Despite the positive critical reception , Bugsy Malone was not a commercial success in the US , bringing in just over $2.7 million . Paramount gave it a limited release , usually in second - tier theaters in a double - bill with The Bad News Bears , which had already been out for six months and was no longer much of a draw . According to Parker , the film was `` quite successful '' in the United Kingdom . By 1985 , it had earned an estimated profit of £ 1,854,000 . Accolades ( edit ) The film garnered 15 award nominations , including `` Best Motion Picture ( Musical / Comedy ) '' , `` Best Original Score '' and `` Best Original Song '' ( for the title track ) from the Golden Globes , and an Oscar for `` Best Original Song Score '' ( Paul Williams ) . The film was in competition for the Palme d'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival . Actress Jodie Foster received two BAFTAs , `` Best Supporting Actress '' and `` Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles '' , however , both her nominations were for her previous year 's work in Taxi Driver in addition to her work on Bugsy Malone . Alan Parker received the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay , and a nomination for Best Direction . Geoffrey Kirkland won the BAFTA Award for Best Production Design . Additionally , Paul Williams received a nomination for the Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music , and Monica Howe a Best Costume Design nomination . The film itself received a Best Picture nomination . In 2008 , the American Film Institute nominated this film for its Top 10 Gangster Films list . Home media ( edit ) In the early eighties , Bugsy Malone was released on VHS . On 16 April 1996 , it was re-released by Paramount on VHS . Although the film has never been commercially released on Region 1 DVD , it has been available through Internet sites as an Asian import supporting Region 1 ( US ) . On 9 September 2008 , Arista / SME released a Blu - ray version , encoded for `` all regions '' , as a United Kingdom import . This edition includes a director 's commentary as well as other special features , however , as of October 2009 , the Blu - ray version was discontinued . A US DVD ( Region 1 ) release was listed around 2003 / 04 as being available soon , however the film has yet to be released in this format . Soundtrack ( edit ) CD cover The album was originally released as an LP in 1976 . In March 1996 , Polydor UK released the soundtrack on CD . It has yet to be released in the US on CD but is available through various outlets as an import . Performers include Paul Williams , Archie Hahn , Julie McWhirter , and Liberty Williams . The track listing is : `` Bugsy Malone '' -- Paul Williams `` Fat Sam 's Grand Slam '' -- Paul Williams `` Tomorrow '' `` Bad Guys '' `` I 'm Feeling Fine '' `` My Name Is Tallulah '' - Louise `` Liberty '' Williams `` So You Wanna Be a Boxer ? '' `` Ordinary Fool '' `` Down and Out '' `` You Give a Little Love '' -- Paul Williams A cast recording of the National Youth Music Theatre stage version of Bugsy Malone was released in 1998 . Like the stage show , this recording featured two songs originally written by Williams , but not used in the film : `` That 's Why They Call Him Dandy '' and `` Show Business '' . There is also some additional incidental orchestral score , such as an Overture and Exit Music , with music arranged by John Pearson . Legacy ( edit ) In 2003 , Bugsy Malone was voted # 19 on a list of the 100 greatest musicals , as chosen by viewers of Channel 4 in the UK , placing it higher than The Phantom of the Opera , Cats , and The King and I. Bugsy Malone ranks 353rd on Empire Magazine 's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time . Bugsy Malone has been adapted into a stage show in two forms . A 2003 television documentary called Bugsy Malone : After They Were Famous features a reunion and interviews with Jodie Foster , Scott Baio , John Cassisi and Florrie Dugger . The British actors who played Fat Sam 's gang are also reunited at Pinewood Studios . The documentary reported that Dugger , who ( unlike her co-stars ) had never acted again , had chosen to pursue a career in the United States Air Force Medical Service . In 2010 , UK band Silvery included a cover of `` You Give a Little Love '' on their second album ' Railway Architecture ' , and Olly Murs , runner up in the 2009 UK series of The X Factor , sampled `` So You Wanna Be a Boxer '' in his song `` Hold On '' that can be found on his debut album . In 2011 , the film was the most screened film in secondary schools in the United Kingdom . In 2017 , the song `` You Give A Little Love '' was sung by a children 's chorus at the end of a Netflix `` Black Mirror '' episode ( Season 4 episode 3 `` Crocodile '' ) .

The tax is levied by the governing authority of the jurisdiction in which the property is located . This can be a national government , a federated state , a county or geographical region or a municipality . Multiple jurisdictions may tax the same property . This tax can be contrasted to a rent tax which is based on rental income or imputed rent , and a land value tax , which is a levy on the value of land , excluding the value of buildings and other improvements . Under a property - tax system , the government requires or performs an appraisal of the monetary value of each property , and tax is assessed in proportion to that value .

Real property ( also called real estate or realty ) is the combination of land and improvements . Forms of property tax vary across jurisdictions . Real property is often taxed based on its class . Classification is the grouping of properties based on similar use . Properties in different classes are taxed at different rates . Examples of property classes are residential , commercial , industrial and vacant real property . In Israel , for example , property tax rates are double for vacant apartments versus occupied apartments . A special assessment tax is sometimes confused with property tax . These are two distinct forms of taxation : one ( ad valorem tax ) relies upon the fair market value of the property . The other ( special assessment ) relies upon a special enhancement called a `` benefit '' for its justification . The property tax rate is typically given as a percentage . It may be expressed as a per mil ( amount of tax per thousand currency units of property value ) , which is also known as a millage rate or mill ( one - thousandth of a currency unit ) . To calculate the property tax , the authority multiplies the assessed value by the mill rate and then divides by 1,000 . For example , a property with an assessed value of $50,000 located in a municipality with a mill rate of 20 mills would have a property tax bill of $1,000 per year . Jurisdictions ( edit ) Property classes , tax rates , assessment rules and valuations vary by jurisdiction . Australia ( edit ) Australian property is taxed at both the state and council ( local municipal ) level . Taxes are payable by property owners - there is no property tax charged to renters . A state tax commonly called `` stamp duty '' is assessed when is property is purchased or transferred . It is typically around 5 % of the purchase price , payable by the purchaser . Other transfer charges may also apply , including special fees for investors from overseas . `` Land tax '' - also a state tax - is assessed every year on a property 's value . Most Australians do not pay land tax , as most states provide a land tax exemption for the primary home or residence . Depending on the state , surcharge tax rates can apply to foreign owners . `` Council rates '' is a municipal tax levied by local government . This is assessed each year on a property 's value . Council rates are around $1300 per annum for an average Australian household . Brazil ( edit ) Brazil is a Federation Republic , and its federated entities ( internal States and Municipalities ) , as well as the Federal government , levy property taxes . They are all declared in the Federal Constitution . These are the current property taxes : Tax on Rural Territorial Property -- federal : levied upon real state property on rural areas ; Tax on Urban Territorial Property -- municipal : levied upon real state property on urban areas ; Tax on Motorized Vehicles Property -- state : levied upon the property of cars , trucks , motorcycles , and the likes ; Tax on Big Fortunes -- federal : it is declared on the Federal Constitution , but there is still no regulation defining its incidence . Canada ( edit ) Many provinces levy property tax on real estate based upon land use and value . This is the major source of revenue for most municipal governments . While property tax levels vary across municipalities , a common property assessment or valuation criteria is laid out in provincial legislation . The trend is to use a market value standard for valuation purposes with varying revaluation cycles . Multiple provinces established an annual reassessment cycle where market activity warrants , while others have longer periods between valuation periods . Calculating individual property taxes ( edit ) In Ontario , for most properties ( e.g. , residential , farms ) , property taxes can be calculated by multiplying the phased - in assessment indicated on the Property Assessment Notice by the tax rate . The municipal tax rate x phased - in assessment for the particular taxation year = municipal portion of tax . The county / regional tax rate x phased - in assessment for the particular taxation year = county / regional portion of tax . The education tax rate x phased - in assessment for the particular taxation year = education portion of tax . The municipal portion of tax + county / regional portion of tax + education portion of tax = Total Property Tax . In some cases ( e.g. , commercial , industrial , multi-residential properties ) , the Province or municipality may implement measures that affect the actual taxes paid on a property . Land transfer tax ( edit ) Land transfer tax is a provincial tax levied when purchasing a home or land in Canada . All provinces have a land transfer tax , except Alberta and Saskatchewan . In most provinces the tax is calculated as a percentage of the purchase price . In Toronto there is an additional municipal tax . Ontario , British Columbia , Prince Edward Island and the City of Toronto offer land transfer tax rebates for first - time homebuyers . British Columbia ( edit ) In British Columbia the property transfer tax is equal to one percent tax on the first $200,000 of the purchase price , two percent on the remaining amount up to $2 million and three percent on the rest . An additional 15 % tax that applies only to non-resident foreign home buyers in Greater Vancouver started on August 2 , 2016 . The definition of foreign buyer includes international students and temporary foreign workers . Anti-avoidance measures include fines of $100,000 for individuals and $200,000 for corporations . First Time Home Buyers program ( edit ) The First Time Home Buyers Program is a program by the BC government that offers qualifying first - time homebuyers a reduction or elimination of the property transfer tax . It can be used in conjunction with the B.C. Home Owner Mortgage and Equity Partnership . The First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit is also available in Ontario , which offers First Time Home Buyers a 750 dollar tax Rebate . In 2017 the Ontario Government also released the Land Transfer Tax Rebate , which allowed for up to 4,000 dollar rebate - ensuring that first time home buyers of homes valued under 368,000 dollars would not pay land transfer tax . New Home exemption ( edit ) The Newly Built Home Exemption is a program that reduces or eliminates the property transfer tax on new homes . The amount is limited to $13,000 for qualifying individuals who must be either a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident . The property purchased must be located in British Columbia , have a fair market value of $750,000 , be smaller than 1.25 acres and be used as a principle residence . It can be used in conjunction with the B.C. Home Owner Mortgage and Equity Partnership . Chile ( edit ) The land property tax , called `` territorial tax '' or `` contribution '' , is an annual amount paid quarterly by the property 's owner . It is determined as a percentage of the property 's `` fiscal value '' , which is calculated by the Internal Revenue Service , based on the property 's land and built area , construction materials , age and use . The fiscal value , which is usually much lower than the market value , may be disputed by the owner . The annual levy varies between 1 and 2 % of this value , depending on the property 's use ( residential , agricultural or commercial ) . Residential properties valued below US $40 K ( as of 2013 ) are not taxed ; those above that threshold are taxed only on the amount exceeding US $40 K. Revenues go to the municipality administering the property 's commune . All municipalities contribute a share of the revenue to a `` common municipal fund '' that is then redistributed back to municipalities according to a their needs ( commune 's poverty rate , etc . ) . Additionally , municipalities charge a quarterly trash collection tax , which is often paid together with the territorial tax ( if applicable ) . Egypt ( edit ) The law imposes a tax on each property . Public buildings are excluded ( such as government buildings ) , as are religious buildings ( mosques and churches ) . Families owning private properties worth up to LE 2 million ( $290,000 ) are exempt . commercial stores with an annual rent value over LE 1,200 are not exempt . Greece ( edit ) Greece has a Municipal and a Government property tax . The municipal property tax ( ΤΑΠ / ΔΤ / ΔΦ ) is included in electricity bills and incorporates , among others , charges for street cleaning and lighting . The Government property tax ( ENFIA ) is a combination of the individual asset 's tax based upon floor - area and a progressive real - estate wealth tax per individual which is based on the estimated net - worth of all properties and can reach 2 % . Hong Kong ( edit ) In Hong Kong , the `` property tax '' is not an ad valorem tax ; it is actually an income tax . According to HK Inland Revenue Ordinance IRO s5B , all property owners are not be subject to this tax unless they received a consideration , like rental income for the year of assessment . The property tax is computed on the net assessable value at the standard rate . The period of assessment is from 1 April to 31 March . Net assessable value ( edit ) The formula is : Net assessable value = 80 % of Assessable value . HK property tax payable = Net assessment value X Property tax standard rate Assessable value = Rental income + Premium + ( Rental bad debt recovered -- Irrecoverable rent ) -- Rates paid by owner . India ( edit ) Property tax or ' house tax ' is a local tax on buildings , along with appurtenant land . It is and imposed on the Possessor ( not the custodian of property as per 1978 , 44th amendment of constitution ) . It resembles the US - type wealth tax and differs from the excise - type UK rate . The tax power is vested in the states and is delegated to local bodies , specifying the valuation method , rate band , and collection procedures . The tax base is the annual rental value ( ARV ) or area - based rating . Owner - occupied and other properties not producing rent are assessed on cost and then converted into ARV by applying a percentage of cost , usually four percent . Vacant land is generally exempt . Central government properties are exempt . Instead a ' service charge ' is permissible under executive order . Properties of foreign missions also enjoy tax exemption without requiring reciprocity . The tax is usually accompanied by service taxes , e.g. , water tax , drainage tax , conservancy ( sanitation ) tax , lighting tax , all using the same tax base . The rate structure is flat on rural ( panchayat ) properties , but in the urban ( municipal ) areas it is mildly progressive with about 80 % of assessments falling in the first two brackets . Ireland ( edit ) Main article : Local Property Tax ( Ireland ) A Local Property Tax came into effect in Republic of Ireland on 1 July 2013 , and is collected by the Revenue Commissioners . The tax is on residential properties . The property owner is liable ( though in the case of leases over twenty years , the tenant is liable ) . The revenue funds the provision of services by local authorities . Such services currently include public parks , libraries , open spaces and leisure amenities , planning and development , fire and emergency services , maintenance and street cleaning and lighting . The tax is based upon market value , taxed via a system of market bands . The initial national central rate of the tax is 0.18 % of a property 's value up to € 1 million . Properties valued over € 1 million are assessed 0.25 % on the excess . From 1 January 2015 , local authorities are able to vary LPT rates - / + 15 % of the national central rate . In the case of properties valued over € 1 million , no banding applies -- 0.18 % is charged on the first € 1 million ( € 1,800 ) and 0.25 % on the balance . The government estimates that 85 % to 90 % of all properties fall within the first five taxation bands . Jamaica ( edit ) This tax is paid annually and is based on a percentage of the unimproved value of a property . Lithuania ( edit ) The tax period for a property tax is a calendar year . Property tax rate ranging from 0.3 % to 1 % the tax value of real estate is determined by the municipality . Since January 1 2015 if the persons property value is higher than 220 000 euros , 0.5 per cent of property tax is applied for exceeding amount . Luxembourg ( edit ) Property tax in Luxembourg is calculated on the basis of the property 's `` unitary value '' determined by tax authorities and levied by the communes . The tax is calculated as property unitary value * assessment rate * communal rate . The assessment rate is determined by the legislator and generally ranges from 0.7 % to 1 % . The communal rate is set by the communal authority and varies from 120 % to 900 % depending on the municipality . Luxembourg has minimal property taxes compared to its neighbours in Benelux or in the European Union . It amounts to more or less € 150 for a € 500 000 apartment in Luxembourg City . Netherlands ( edit ) Property tax ( Dutch : Onroerendezaakbelasting ( OZB ) ) is levied on property on a municipal basis . Only the owners of residential property and people who rent / own commercial space are taxed . People who rent a home do not pay property tax . Municipalities combine their property taxes with a tax for garbage collection and for the sewer system . Owners and users of property and land also pay taxes based on the value of property to the water boards for flood protection and water and wastewater treatment ( `` waterschapsbelasting '' ) . A percentage of the value of a house ( `` huurwaardeforfait '' ) is added to the income of the owner , so the owner of a house pays more income tax . All property - related taxes are based on the value of the house estimated by the municipality . United kingdom ( edit ) See also : Business rates in England and Wales In the UK the ownership of residential property or land is not taxed , a situation almost unique in the OECD . Instead , the Council Tax is usually paid by the resident of a property , and only in the case of unoccupied property does the owner become liable to pay it ( although owners can often obtain a discount or an exemption for empty properties ) . Her Majesty 's Revenue and Customs ( HMRC ) guidelines state : `` Council Tax is a tax on property . In principle it may be an allowable deduction in those instances where other property - based expenses are deductible . '' The Valuation Tribunal Service states that : `` The tax is a mix of a property tax and a personal tax . Generally , where two or more persons reside in a dwelling the full tax is payable . If one person resides in the dwelling then 75 % is payable . An empty dwelling attracts only a 50 % charge unless the billing authority has made a determination otherwise . '' The Council Tax depends on the value of the property , but is not calculated as a simple percentage . Instead , the property is allocated to a Council Tax band , ( 9 in England and 8 in Scotland and Wales ) . Valuation is carried out by the Valuation Office Agency under the auspices of Her Majesty 's Revenue and Customs ( HMRC ) . United states ( edit ) Main article : Property tax in the United States In the United States , property tax on real estate is usually levied by local government , at the municipal or county level . Rates vary across the states , between about 0 % and 4 % of the home value . The assessment is made up of two components -- the improvement or building value and the land or site value . The property tax is the main tax supporting local education , police / fire protection , local governments , some free medical services and most of other local infrastructure . Many state and local jurisdictions add personal property taxes . ( See exceptions below . ) Places without property tax ( edit ) Africa ( edit ) Kenya Mauritania Namibia Europe ( edit ) Faroe Islands Malta Oceania ( edit ) Palau Norfolk Island Cook Islands Asia ( edit ) China United states ( edit ) In Alaska , `` ... only a small portion of the land mass is subject to a property tax ... only 24 municipalities in Alaska ( either cities or boroughs ) levy a property tax . '' There is no tax on the private land in American Samoa , the Territory of Palmyra Island or Kingman Reef in the Pacific Ocean insular areas .
