A gift is a gift. No income tax or capital gains tax implications. Provided you survive any cash gift by 7 years no iht implications either so a man of your age should not worry. You can Google the iht exempt amounts for gifts out of income but any amount is exempt anyway assuming you are not dead in 7 years.

They know about everything. They're watching you even now.....

Another question someone might be able to answer. If a person earns a small amount of money (nowhere near the tax allowance)working for themselves, do they have to register as self employed? It seems like a pointless exercise. From what I read you do if you should be paying tax. But what if you wouldn't earn enough to pay tax?

Thanks but this is the issue...lots of stuff online saying it's ?3k max or there are implications...without saying what these are...then others saying its effectively a capital gain so its up to the CGT limit of ?11k ish or CGT applies..then as per Mick some saying none at all. The sum in question is a fair bit higher than that


I'll check with a bean counter....thanks though.

I'd be happy with ?3k if that helps in any way?

If you are self employed (even more important if you are a cash business, so all your income is cash, rather than cheque, BACS or CHAPS payments), you will need to maintain some level of accounting, allowing you to you know what your income and expenditure is, so that you can determine any level of profit you make. Using this information will make completing and submitting your tax self assessment form to HMRC much simpler. Being registered you won't get any unwelcome surprises i.e. a tax investigation.


Ran a micro/small business for 10 years.

Anything! Could be mistakes in your tax forms, a sudden change in your income, the inspector just having a bad day. Yes they have got better things to do but they like the small business owner as they are more likely to cave in and not fight anything.

I thought my post was clear.... For any gift amount, survive 7 years and you don't have to worry, it falls out of your estate. The "implications" are if you don't survive 7 years - if so it comes within your estate, on a taper basis. The 3k is the IHT annual exemption but assuming a bigger amount you need to consider the 7 years.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
