07 July 2014 Dear Experts,

There is a house that is in the name of an individual but he has given the house to his married sister who currently stays in that house along with her family(as i mentioned earlier property is still in the name of the individual). Now the brother intends to officially gift the house to the sister on the occasion of his sister's daughter's wedding as a gift.(intention to give the property to the sister not to the sister's daughter). As the occasion of one's daughter's marriage wont exempt the sister from Gift Tax, my query is can any tax planning be done in this case to avoid or minimize the amount of gift tax payable.

Thanking you.
