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:
- the conditions differ depending on the situation
- The tax benefit differs per purpose
- know what you're choosing: you can benefit from the increased exemption once in a lifetime
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.
