This relates to US taxation only.

Yeah, a gift from a father to son does get taxed but there are annual exclusions. If the amount of the gift is more than $12,000 (for 2007) then it has to reported by the father and he will have to pay tax for more than that amount. However the son needn't report the gift.

The following gifts have unlimited exclusions though -

1- Gifts to SPOUSE

2 - Gifts directly to a medical or educational institution or even a political organization.

and

3- Charitable gifts

Form 709 must be filled.

Does a Gift Deed be prepared for gifting a car to son by father?

Ownership of a car is transferred by the Certificate of Title not by a deed. The father would sign the certificate over to the son and the son would take the certificate to the Registry of Motor Vehicles so they will issue a new one in the son's name. In Massachusetts there is a form available at the Registry when there is no consideration to be paid and the car is a gift. Otherwise there is a mininum amount of sales tax due. The father would sign that form so the son would not have to pay a sales tax. Check at your own Registry to see if that option is available.
