Family gift exemption calculatorTable of contents
Gifts to companies or foundations may be subject to inheritance and gift tax rules. Key factors are the recipient’s status, the purpose of the gift and proper documentation.
Gifts to business entities generally do not benefit from family exemptions, so standard gift tax rules apply. SD‑Z2 is for closest‑family exemptions and does not apply here.
Tax deductions are possible only in specific cases and under statutory conditions (e.g., public benefit, religious worship, blood donation). Always verify current limits and eligible purposes. See: Gift deductions.
Typical requirements:
For cash gifts, proof of transfer is essential. For in‑kind gifts, confirmation of acceptance and value evidence matter.
If tax is due, the relevant form (usually SD‑3) must be filed within statutory deadlines.
Before you rely on an exemption or calculate tax, go through a short checklist:
Typical documents include a gift agreement, confirmation of transfer or receipt, identity data of both parties, and any valuation or price evidence. If the item is real estate or a share in property, a notarial deed and land‑register documents are usually required. Clear documentation is the simplest way to avoid disputes with the tax office.
Rules and thresholds can change. If the amount is significant or the facts are complex, consider professional advice and always verify the current legal basis.
A donation to a company is treated differently than a donation to a foundation or public benefit organization. For companies, the donation is usually a transfer of assets without direct consideration and may not bring tax benefits. For foundations and NGOs, special reliefs may apply if statutory conditions are met.
For companies, document the transfer value and the legal basis. For foundations, collect confirmation of receipt and the organization’s status. In both cases, keep invoices or valuation evidence for in‑kind gifts.
If the donation has a business purpose (e.g. sponsorship), document the reciprocal benefits separately.
A safe workflow looks like this: first confirm the relationship group and possible exemption, then prepare the agreement and proof of transfer, then file the correct form, and finally store all documents together. This makes later checks easier and reduces the risk of missing a deadline.
If gifts or inheritance events repeat, maintain a simple register with dates, amounts and documents. Even a basic spreadsheet is enough. It helps you see when thresholds are exceeded and which form you should file.
Most problems come from missing paperwork, unclear valuation or late reporting. A short checklist and consistent documentation usually solves the issue without the need for additional correspondence with the tax office.
If you receive the asset or money in several tranches, treat each tranche as part of the same overall gift from the same donor. Record the date and amount of each tranche. This makes it easier to decide when reporting is required and prevents accidental under‑reporting.
If the value is high, the relationship is unclear, or the asset is complex (shares, property with encumbrances), a short consultation can prevent expensive mistakes. In many cases, the cost of advice is lower than the risk of penalties or additional tax.
