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.

04 November 2020 One of client received rs.10 lakh by bank transfer as a gift from his brother for sacrificing his partition share of mother's own property .
Here his brother get it whole property in full. But he is sacrifice his 50% share. And his brother gifted rs 10lakhs on behalf of the sacrifice portion.

04 November 2020 1 Being gift from relative exempt from tax.
2 No need of gift deed just a letter confirming gift is enough.
