Zed says: 25 May 2015 at 21:41 I am married by Anti Nuptual Contract (ANC) without accrual. I would like to give a gift to my wife of R500k. Is this taxed? Do I have to make any declaration to Sars? If so, when must this be made? Can I give a gift / donation to my child? Are there limits, and what is the procedure? |
TaxTim says: 26 May 2015 at 22:55 No you do not need to worry about transfers between husband and wife, they are never subject to tax. You and your wife can each donate R100 000 a year in total to anyone you chose, any amounts over that are subject to donations tax of 20%. |
Zed says: 27 May 2015 at 21:23 Thanks for the response TaxTim. Just to confirm - Is there any declaration required (from myself or my wife) for the gift to my wife? |
TaxTim says: 27 May 2015 at 22:54 No there is not for you. However she would need to declare that she received a donation in her return under the Amounts not considered taxable section. |
