Santa might bring cash this year

With the holiday season on your doorstep it may be pretty difficult to pick the right gifts for everyone in your family. Family members that we don not even know that well may ask us what gifts we would like and even though there is always something we need, it can be awkward to answer this question. Holiday gifts for adults do not have to be limited to goods such as radio's, Ipods or even a new mobile phone. If you are looking for a good way to use your annual gift tax exclusion for the end of this year, you may well have found the perfect gift for anyone.

Anyone has a right to their $1 million per lifetime gift tax exemption and this means that, if you want to make use of the arrangement for this year you will have to file your gift tax before the 30st of December. This is how the rule works. You may give away any amount of money up to $1 million. If you give out more money than this amount you will owe gift tax. Married people will have $2 million to spend on gift tax together during their lifetime. There is no limit to the number of people that you are giving away money to and the gift of money is one that will most appreciated and put to good use by any receiver.

Giving away money will enable you to spend a very relaxed Christmas, without having to look around in busy shops and wondering what to get your family next. Helping to pay someone's medical bills or schooling is a great gift in itself that will truly help to make someone's life easier for a longer period of time. Any money gifts handed out by you in 2006 will count towards the 2006 tax exclusion so the gift of money might be worth considering.
