Using interest money to pay transfer duties

Q: In the case of a transfer of ownership of a property, can interest be used to pay the transfer duties (to SARS)?

A: If it is a fee that does not come with any service then some ulama say that it is alright to pay with interest.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
