flag UK residents warned improper money gifts to loved ones could lead to unexpected inheritance tax.

flag UK residents are cautioned about gifting money to loved ones, as improper handling can lead to unexpected inheritance tax (IHT) bills. flag HMRC explains that only certain gifts are tax-free, and the "gifting out of surplus income" exemption allows unlimited tax-free gifts if they are regular, come from income, and do not affect the donor's standard of living. flag Proper record-keeping is essential to avoid financial and emotional costs. flag Larger, one-off gifts can face IHT unless the giver survives seven years after the gift.
