Cash Gift from USA

Dear HMRC Team, I am a dual UK/USA citizen. My Dad (US citizen) wants to give me a cash gift. Is there any limit to how much he can give me before it's taxed? Thanks

Hi,

There are no Income Tax implications on the receipt of a cash gift unless the income generates interest or dividends. These would then potentially be subject to tax. Further guidance can be found here:

Tax on savings interest

Tax on dividends 

Thank you.
