Gifted Deposits- What are the effects?

  • Thanks all. That is helpful to know. I'm looking around 75%-80% depending on numbers.
  • I gifted my son £15k to his £35k for a £50k deposit. His mortgage went through ok. My question to the forum now is regarding tax. My son has been told that he may have to pay an additional £3k on the gifted amount (20% )?? Does anyone know if gifted deposits are taxable?
