Re: How much would be too much?
Bear in mind that any gift you give that's over £70k (I think that's the amount) would have to have 40% tax deducted from it.

Re: How much would be too much?
There is currently no gift tax in the Uk. The problems can arise where the person makes the gift and then dies, leaving the open question of inheritence tax. If you die within 7 years of making the gift, your Estate is responsible for 40% tax on the gift, provided your Estate is more than £263K.

Re: How much would be too much?
Untold riches didn't bring much happiness to the Onassis family.
Somethings like health and love can't be bought, even by lottery winners.

Bill Gates, said to be the richest man in the world, doesn't look too miserable though.

Re: How much would be too much?
WestEnder is right, Gayle. Provided you can go for seven years before you pop your clogs, there is no tax on such lifetime gifts. Also gifts made out of income are free of CTT. So, if your income is £150,000 net, you can happily hand over £70,000 without attracting tax, as you still have plenty to live on. £1 million will bring in, at a conservative estimate, £50K before tax, so with a big lottery win, you are sitting pretty.
Whatever happened to "Unto those who have not shall be given ....."?

Depends on whether it's a business, a charity or whatever.
