This discussion clarifies the tax implications of receiving monetary gifts in the UK. A gift of £5 lakh from a cousin (uncle's son) is generally considered taxable as they are not always classified as a 'relative' for tax purposes. However, a gift from a father-in-law's elder brother (uncle of spouse) is typically exempt, as this individual falls under the definition of a 'relative' for tax relief.
