Luxury Tax, also known as the Super Tax in the UK, is a space on the Monopoly Board nestled between the two most valuable spaces, Park Place/Park Lane and Boardwalk/Mayfair. it is one of the two tax-related spaces on a standard board.
A player landing on the space must pay a luxury tax to the Bank. Before the September 2008 graphic redesign of the game, the tax was $75. This was increased to $100 after the redesign.
House Rules[]
- Some House Rules have the player place the paid tax in the centre of the board for collection upon landing on the Free Parking jackpot. Hasbro generally doesn't advise this rule.
