If it is treated as a gift and your dad dies within 7 years IHT becomes payable. It is importnat to relaise that it will be his estate that pays the IHT and not you.

So, if others also inherit from your dad's estate, they will, effectively, pay IHT on part of the gify you received, since their inheritance will be reduced by your dad's estate paying the IHT.
