Lifetime Gift Tax Exclusion. Beginning in 2018, you may give up to $5.6 million during your lifetime in tax-free gifts, not including your annual gift exclusions. For example, if you give your daughter $100,000 to buy a house, $15,000 of that gift fulfills your annual per-person exclusion for her alone.

However, you won’t immediately have to pay tax on that gift. Instead, the IRS deducts that $185,000 from your lifetime gift tax exemption.

There are no tax implications of lending your son £15,000 by way of a registered charge.
