Quick Summary
When transferring ownership of a 10-year-old car to your father-in-law, gifting is often simpler than selling, especially if there's no significant profit. While gifts over £50,000 can be taxable, a car typically doesn't fall under the specific capital assets listed in the Income Tax Act that are subject to this rule. Therefore, gifting is generally the more straightforward and tax-efficient option in this scenario.

Considering the age of the car, and assuming that there is no significant profit to be earned from the sale of the car, gifting the car to your husband's father may be the better option.

This gift above 50000 is taxable.
As per explanation to Sec 56(2)(x), property means the following capital asset of the assessee, namely:
i. Immovable property being land or building or both
ii. Shares and securities
iii. Jewellery
iv. Archaeological collections
v. Drawings
vi. Paintings
vii. Sculptures
viii. Any work of art
ix. Bullion
Gift of any other property under Income Tax Act is not taxable.
