I. – Shares and undivided portions of immovable property acquired by auction are subject to tax at the rates provided for sales of the same property.
II. – However, the sale by auction of movable or immovable property forming part of a succession or a marital community, as well as the transfer of rights of inheritance in movable or immovable property, are subject to registration duty or land registration tax of 2.50% when they are made in favour of the original members of the joint ownership, their spouse, their ascendants or descendants or the universal beneficiaries of one or more of them. The same applies to licitations relating to undivided property resulting from a shared gift and licitations relating to undivided property acquired by partners who have entered into a civil solidarity pact or by spouses, before or during the pact or marriage.
As regards licitations and transfers putting an end to undivided ownership, taxation is liquidated on the value of the property, without subtracting the purchaser’s share.
