This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

UK has a gift tax. Only up to £3000 per annum is tax free
That's sort of true, it's a 3k allowance per year relating to inheritance tax. So if you give someone 6k and die 2 years later, no tax. You give them 9k and 3k is taxable.
After 7 years it all becomes exempt.
It's basically to stop people bypassing inheritance tax by giving it all away.
So if you give it all away 7 years before you die then you don't pay tax on it?
That's my understanding 🤷
