Gift means a receipt without consideration or for inadequate consideration.
Answer
When an individual receives a gift in relation to employment, business, investment, or otherwise, the following tax treatment applies:
1. Income Inclusion: The gift is added to the individual’s income and is taxed accordingly.
3. Tax Rate for Gifts: The individual may elect for the gift to be taxed separately. In such a case, the gift will be taxed at the rate of 15% on the total value of taxable gifts received by the person within a year of assessment.
