Gift from parent

Postby curiousbuyer on Tue Mar 30, 2004 4:49 am

I have been offered a substantial deposit by my mother towards buying my first home. How much can she 'gift' to me without it being taxable? Or would it be better to buy the house in joint names with me paying the mortgage and my mother being an investor?

Better to gift, can be as much as she likes, will be treated as a 'PET' for IHT purposes.
