The stamp tax for law firms: rebilling, volume, automation.

For a law firm with steady volume, the judicial stamp tax is not a trivial expense: it is a recurring administrative process that consumes time and introduces operational risk. A firm of 30 cases a month handles, on top of the litigation itself, 30 payments, 30 proofs to attach and 30 rebillings to clients.

The case of a Bucharest firm we helped move its flow through Sigilia illustrates the effect. Before: two visits a month to the treasury for the batch of payments, plus an hour per case for attaching the proof and rebilling. Total: about 20 hours a month.

After: payment is made in the Sigilia interface, in 30 minutes for the full batch. Rebilling is generated automatically: for each payment, the system attaches the proof and issues an invoice to the client showing the tax value and a separate line for the Sigilia commission. The 30 invoices go out in two clicks.

For firms with monthly volume above 50 payments, the offer is built on three axes: a commission negotiated against volume, separate accounts per associate lawyer (for internal records), and API access to integrate with the firm's CRM. For firms with volume below 50 payments, the standard partner-account access is sufficient.

The Sigilia API exposes three main endpoints: tax calculation for a case, payment initiation, and proof download. Full technical documentation, including the OpenAPI schema, is available on request. Firms with particular needs (for example, integration with IndaForm or IndaWMS) receive dedicated implementation support.
