Question: how much money can you gift your child without paying taxes?
Answer: Each tax year, you can give away £3,000 worth of gifts (your 'annual exemption') tax-free. You can also give away wedding or civil partnership gifts up to £1,000 per person (£2,500 for a grandchild and £5,000 for a child). You can also give your children regular sums of money from your income (see below).
