Scale fees under the Solicitors' Remuneration Order 2023, stamp duty bands, and the 25% ceiling.

PROTOTYPE · SAMPLE DATA

Why this screen exists. In conveyancing the fee is not a matter of taste: the Solicitors' Remuneration Order 2023 sets a scale, caps the discount at 25% of the scale fee for sale and transfer work, and separates a genuine waiver of fees on the client's behalf from a discount to a referrer. A firm that guesses loses money, or breaches the order. So the numbers are computed, not typed.

MOT stamp duty: 1% on the first RM100,000, 2% on the next RM400,000, 3% on the next RM500,000, 4% above RM1,000,000. Loan agreement duty: 0.5% of the amount secured. SST 8% on professional fees.

2 Discount, waiver and what is neither

Discount

A reduction of the scale fee, capped at 25% for sale and transfer work. The cap is enforced by the engine, not by a policy memo.

Waiver

A deliberate act of the firm, recorded as a waiver with a reason and an approver. Reporting a waiver as a discount is what gets a firm into trouble.

Referral payment

Not permitted at all. There is no field for it anywhere in this system, and the guard screen explains why.

A central rate table is the quiet advantage of a subscription product: when the next budget changes a band, every subscribing firm is on the new number the same morning, and every old bill still shows the version it used.
