* from 201 to 300 square meters - 200 euro per square meter

* over 300 square meters - 400 euro per square meter

For the calculation of the annual objective costs of the auxiliary spaces in a main house, determined is the amount of 40 euro per square meter.

As for the annual objective costs for a car, determined are the following: 

* for vehicles up to 1,200 cubic centimeters  - 4,000 euros 

* for vehicles larger than 1,200 cubic centimeters added are 600 euros per 100 cubic centimeters until 2,000 cubic centimeters

* for vehicles larger than 2,000 cubic centimeters  added are 900 euros per 100 cubic centimeters  until 3000 cubic centimeters
