not sure what's wrong

what did i do wrong?

product.py 
class Product:
    _price = 0.0
    tax_rate = 0.12

    def __init__(self, base_price):
        self._price = base_price

    @property
    def price(self):
        return self._price + (self._price * self.tax_rate)

    @price.setter

You're close, but when referring to instance variables you must provide the prefix "self." before the variable name.

        self._price = price
