Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of a husband gifting £10 lakhs to his wife in the UK. Under Section 56(2) of the Income Tax Act 1961, gifts received from relatives are generally not taxable for the recipient. Therefore, neither the husband nor the wife would need to pay tax on this £10 lakh gift. It is also recommended to prepare a Gift Deed for such transactions.
