Taxation of Gift


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A client received a £10 lakh gift from their brother, who inherited their mother's property entirely. The client sacrificed their 50% share of the property in favour of their brother. The gift was made in lieu of this sacrificed portion. The query concerns the taxability of this gift and whether a formal gift deed is required, or if a simple confirmation letter suffices, given that gifts from relatives are typically tax-exempt.
