Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a gift received from a mother's sister's son is considered taxable in the UK. While a mother's sister is a relative, her son is generally not included in the legal definition of 'relative' for gift tax purposes. Therefore, gifts from such an individual are typically taxable, unless received on the occasion of a marriage.
A perusal of the term ‘relative’ used in the section clearly shows that mother’s sister’s son does not fall within the definition of relative. Therefore, the amount received by the assessee from mother’s sister’s son does not qualify for the benefit. Hence taxable
1) Son of mother's sister is not included in the definition of relative and hence taxable. But mother's sister is a relative.
2) However, gifts received on occasion of marriage of an individual, from anybody is not taxable.
