Family gift exemption calculatorTable of contents
Gifts between spouses and the closest family are often exempt, but only if formal conditions are met. The relationship, transfer method and timely reporting are key.
A spouse is in group 0, which allows full exemption. The condition is proper reporting and documentation.
Filing SD‑Z2 within the statutory deadline is usually required. Missing it can mean losing the exemption. Guide: Gift reporting — forms and deadlines.
In each case, formal compliance is decisive. See: Family gifts — exemption and tax.
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.
For spouses and closest family, full exemption is often possible, but only if formal conditions are met. The most common requirement is timely reporting and, for monetary gifts, a documented transfer to the recipient’s account. Skipping the form or using cash without proof can eliminate the exemption.
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.
A short written record and clear valuation usually resolve most doubts.
Keep the confirmation together with the agreement for future checks.
If anything is unclear, verify the status before filing to avoid corrections later.
