Question: how much money can you give as a gift and not be taxed?
Answer: How much is the annual 'gift allowance'? While you're alive, you have a £3,000 'gift allowance' a year. This is known as your annual exemption. This means you can give away assets or cash up to a total of £3,000 in a tax year without it being added to the value of your estate for Inheritance Tax (IHT) purposes.
