The reason im asking is that whilst were both saving for our first home (another subject re crazy house prices...anyway), she hasnt made use of her 3k mini cash ISA allowance this year and id like to give her 3k to make use of it before april, we gettin wed in may.
Thanks for your help!

As much as you like.
The only taxes she would face is if she dies and her estate is over £285,000.
Obviously, if you split up, she has the money.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
Even if you don't split up... she has the money.0

You may not "pretend" that it is her money. It either is, in which case, it's fine (subject to what Dunstohn says). Or it's not, in which case it's tax evasion.0
