What is the Gift Tax & How does it work?
Gift tax is a tax imposed on the transfer of property, money, or other valuable gifts from one person to another during their lifetime. The amount of gift tax depends on the value of the gift and the relationship between the donor and the recipient.
In many countries, there are specific exemptions for certain types of gifts, such as those given to spouses or children under a certain age. Additionally, there may be an annual exclusion amount that allows individuals to give a certain amount of money or property without incurring gift tax.
