In the UK, you can legally give a family member up to £3,000 per year without incurring any tax liabilities. This is known as the Annual Exemption. If you haven't used your allowance from the previous year, you can carry it over, making it possible to gift up to £6,000. Additionally, smaller gifts of up to £250 per person can be given to multiple individuals without impacting your annual exemption.
