Transfer cost check
Skill Zerif007/Claude_Legal-Bangladesh_Edition/bd-real-estate-legal/skills/transfer-cost-check
Computes the government-cost stack on a Bangladesh land/flat transfer — stamp duty, registration fee, local government tax, VAT, gains tax (53H/53FF-lineage withholding under the Income Tax Act 2023), mutation fees — with current-rate verification steps. Use for "what will registration cost", "stamp duty on this deed", "developer vs buyer cost split".From its SKILL.md

Transfer Cost Check — Stamp, Registration & Taxes
Config gate: none beyond firm profile, but EVERY rate below is finance-instrument-
sensitive: verify against the current Finance Act/Ordinance and the latest SRO before
quoting (/bd-law-watch:update-check --topic tax).
Cost stack (verify each rate — they change annually)
| Head | Source instrument | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Stamp duty | Stamp Act 1899 + current Finance instrument | deed-value based; concessions area-specific |
| Registration fee | Registration Act 1908 fee table (SRO) | slab by value |
| Local government tax | Local Government (City Corporation/Union Parishad) Acts | % of deed value by area |
| VAT | VAT & SD Act 2012 | developer sales — construction-stage VAT [verify rate/SRO] |
| Advance tax at registration | Income Tax Act 2023 (transfer-of-property withholding; former 53H lineage) | per-katha/area minimums via SRO [verify] |
| Mutation | SAT Act record-of-rights process | DCR + fees |
Procedure
- Establish deed value vs mouza-rate minimum (whichever regime is current —
[verify]). - Compute each head with the current instrument cited by name/SRO number.
- Present buyer/seller/developer allocation per the draft contract, flag deviations from market practice, and note under-declaration risk (ভূমি অপরাধ আইন ২০২৩ + tax audit).
- Output a cost table + assumptions + "rates verified against [instrument, date]" line.
Guardrails
No number leaves this skill without its source instrument named. If the current SRO can't be located, output the formula with [VERIFY CURRENT RATE] rather than a stale rate.
