When to file a gift tax return?

If you receive more than the general exemption, you must file a gift tax return. Note: sometimes, the tax authorities add up donations from several people. This happens, for example, if in one year you receive a gift from your (step) father and your (step) mother. Or from your grandfather and your grandmother.

This is the deadline for the declaration

If you receive a donation this year, the tax authorities want you to file a tax return before 1 March next year. Even if you do not receive a tax return form. By the way, the giver can also handle the gift tax. This happens rather rarely because the giver pays more tax than the receiver.

How much tax do I have to pay on the donation?

The amount of gift tax you pay varies from 10 to almost 40%. The rate depends on the value of the gift and your relationship to the giver. In addition, it is also good to pay attention to whether:

your partner receives a gift in the same year
the gift(s) will make you pay wealth tax on your income tax return
You have already received a donation whereby an exemption has been claimed. It is possible that, in the case of a subsequent donation, you will no longer be able to use the exemption, even though you did not use the full amount before.

Benefit from a one-off higher exemption from gift tax

Your (step) parents can give you 1 tax-free gift more than the general exemption. This can be for a general purpose or for an expensive study. Your parents or others may also give you a gift for your own home. Important information:

Good tax advice pays for itself

Nobody wants to pay too much tax. And certainly not for a donation. Will you be receiving a gift or a paper donation soon? Please contact us. It would be a shame to miss out on an exemption because you don't know the rules or misinterpret them.

Exceptional situations for the gift tax

In exceptional situations, you may not have to pay any tax at all on a donation. Here are 4 examples:

someone helps you to pay off urgent debts
you receive a donation from a family member or acquaintance who lives abroad
a person gives you a gift because they want to correct a big financial mistake
Your ex-partner is contributing to your expenses while you are not entitled to alimony

Take a good look at the conditions and make sure you don't overestimate your assets.

Customer experiences

I have been working with Habermehl for over 4 years now for my taxes as a private individual and entrepreneur (ZZP). Habermehl provides excellent service and advice. They respond quickly and the communication is pleasant.

Customer focused, modern, fast and flexible.

"Really good service!

Perfect service, proactive, accurate, always quick to respond to contact and extremely friendly and flexible'.

A lot of knowledgeable information, clear communication about costs, the declaration is dealt with very quickly and adequately.

What a great feeling it is to have been helped by Bernd Koster".

I have worked with Habermehl since I started working abroad in 2009. At all times I have found reassurance and confidence for my international tax matters to be well taken care of.

Previously I was a client of a large accounting firm that did not do a good job. Habermehl helped me well, personally and quickly. They took care of the administration and tax returns for my private limited companies. And the settlement of an estate. Their tax advice is very valuable.

Habermehl has been my tax consultant for 10 years. I value good service, quick responses to questions or requests and that's great. Discussions are based on content and we always come to a conclusion.
