The Gift Tax : In 1997, the Taxpayer Relief Act
was
passed, the purpose of which was to alleviate taxes for the
upper middle class and to simplify some of the more
complicated tax laws then in force. The 'gift tax' was one
such area. In simple terms, the gift tax is payable by the
donor on gift property during the donor's lifetime. It is
based on the premise that a large gift of money and, or,
property would have been included as part of the donor's
estate and as such, would have been subject to taxes.
This 7 page paper examines the provisions of the gift tax
statutes and the impact of the Taxpayer Relief Act on the
