Family gift exemption calculatorTable of contents
A real estate gift requires a notarial deed and usually involves additional formalities. Tax depends on the relationship, the property value and whether exemption conditions are met. Below are the key rules.
Tax applies when full exemption is not available (e.g. missing reporting or a relationship outside group 0). Proper classification and formalities are critical.
The closest family can use full exemption, but only after meeting reporting and documentation requirements. See: Gift tax exemption.
SD‑Z2 is usually filed within 6 months from the tax‑obligation date. Since 7 January 2026, the deadline can be restored, but only if the taxpayer proves they were not at fault.
A notarial deed is mandatory. The notary typically informs the tax office, but you should still verify your obligations. You will also need ownership documents and property data.
The tax base is the market value of the property. In disputes, a valuation or supporting documents may be required.
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 real estate gift is not just a tax issue — it is a formal transfer of title. A typical flow includes: preparing property documents, visiting a notary, signing the deed, and updating the land‑and‑mortgage register. If the property is jointly owned or part of marital community property, the deed must reflect the correct shares and consent rules. If the property has a mortgage or other encumbrances, the notary should include them in the deed and you should confirm how they affect the transfer.
The tax base is market value. To avoid disputes, keep evidence of how the value was assessed: a valuation, comparable sales, or a market report. If the tax office challenges the value, they may request additional proof. In practice, a consistent and well‑documented value reduces the risk of later adjustments.
The notary often files the register update, but you should confirm the status. Keep copies of the deed, confirmation of the register filing, and any tax filings. These documents are frequently needed later — for example when selling the property or applying for a mortgage.
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.
