If you received a donation from your father, are you unsure if you need to submit a tax return?
In many jurisdictions, the Stamp Duty Code or similar tax regulations provide exemptions for certain donations based on the relationship between the donor and the recipient. However, it's essential to note that even when donations between close relatives such as spouses, civil partners, descendants, or ascendants are exempt from Stamp Duty, there is often still a requirement to declare such donations to the relevant tax or registration authority.
The purpose of this declaration is to document the transaction officially and confirm the exemption condition applies, not necessarily to charge a tax. Failure to declare may result in penalties or the loss of the tax exemption.
For instance, in the Stamp Duty Code (CIS), donations between spouses, civil partners, descendants, and ascendants, up to the amount of 5,000 euros, are not subject to stamp duty. Yet, for donations above this amount, there is an obligation to declare through the completion of Form 1 of Stamp Duty, by the end of the third month following the donation.
It's also worth mentioning that gratuitous transmissions to spouses, descendants, and ascendants are exempt from Stamp Duty, in accordance with subsection e) of article 6 of the CIS, regardless of the value attributed. However, this exemption does not apply if the donation falls under one of the exempt situations.

However, it's always advisable to consult the specific local tax authority guidelines or a tax professional in the relevant jurisdiction for precise and authoritative references.

In personal-finance matters, the Stamp Duty Code or similar tax regulations require the declaration of donations above 5,000 euros made to spouses, civil partners, descendants, or ascendants, even if exempt from Stamp Duty. This declaration is crucial to confirm the exemption condition and prevent penalties or loss of exemption.
The exemption of gratuitous transmissions to spouses, descendants, and ascendants from Stamp Duty, as stated in subsection e) of article 6 of the CIS, does not apply if the donation falls under one of the exempt situations. It's essential to understand these exemptions and seek advice from a tax professional in the relevant jurisdiction for accurate guidance.
