A gift tax is imposed when properties are donated by individuals.
In the event that properties are donated by a corporation, such as a company, income tax is imposed instead of gift tax.
Furthermore, should you receive the proceeds of a life insurance policy for which you have not paid the premium, or should you receive a benefit due to the exemption of debt, etc., you will be deemed to have received a gift and thus be subject to a gift tax.
However, the proceeds of life insurance received by an insured person from a decedent who paid the insurance premium will be subject to inheritance tax, not gift tax.
There are two methods of taxation for gift tax: the calendar year taxation system and the taxation system for settlement at the time of inheritance. The taxation system for settlement at the time of inheritance can be selected when certain requirements are met.
