Tax on overseas cash Gift to UK citizen

Hello, I am UK citizen. Will I pay any tax on a cash gift of £1000 from an uncle who lives overseas (he is not a UK national). Is there any upper limit for such cash gifts for tax implications? I understand that any income from deposits in a savings account would be taxed normally. Many thanks.

Hi ,
 

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