This solution Should be dynamic in case of future changes of the "2023 Tax Rates for Capital Gains Table", eventual addition of a 4th percentage.

The wording is very confusing, I have to download the answer to check.

I have to say I don't agree with it at all. The house transaction should be one calculation that is added onto the income tax. Then calculate the tax payable at each band. 

The answer indicate I just make sure my house transaction is below the capital gain threshold, then I can avoid payment millions of tax on my other incomes. 😅

The Overage is amount over the sell AND after exclusion. You would not have to pay that much. Here is what the answer should be from my experience and knowledge..
