What are the rules regarding gift tax in the UK?
My mother wishes to unload some of her wealth
Answers:
She can give you £3000 per year, £6000 including the last tax year. Anything above that is classed as a gift with reservation and carries a sliding taxable scale for seven years in the event of death.
My mother's broke.
£3000 a year. And you can also give from the last tax year, so £6000!!
there will be inheritance tax implications and capital gains tax implications. There are reliefs available, notably gift relief for capital gains (whereby the capital gain results from your disposal not hers - ie the gift to you). There are a number of Inheritance tax reliefs too. You're best to check with an advisor if the gifts are large (eg PwC - I work there!!) or check the H M Revenue and Customs website - there will be guidance there!! Planning can be impt!! Good luck
There is no tax to pay on gifts of any value. However,if the gift is more than £3000 pa, and the donor dies within 7 years, his estate will have to pay tax on a sliding scale,
but max 40%
The easiest thing is for your mother to give you the assets (but not the house she will be living in), as soon as possible and hope she will survive 7 years. She can keep £285,000 which is the limit for zero inheritance tax.
