Wikipedia

  1. Gift tax

    In economics, a gift tax is the tax on money or property that one living person gives to another. Items received upon the death of another are considered separately under the inheritance tax. Many gifts are not subject to taxation because of exemptions given in tax laws. The gift tax amount varies by jurisdiction, and international comparison of rates is complex and fluid.

  1. gift tax

    Gift tax is a federal tax applied to an individual or trust who gives anything of value to another individual. It applies where the value of the gift exceeds a certain threshold, known as the annual gift tax exclusion, currently $15,000 per person per year. If the value of the gift exceeds this amount, the giver, not the recipient, is responsible for paying the tax. The purpose of the gift tax is to prevent individuals from avoiding the estate tax by giving away their money before death.
