Gift tax is a federal tax applied to the transfer of property or money from one individual to another without receiving something of equal value in return. It is designed to prevent individuals from avoiding estate taxes by giving away their wealth before death. The tax is typically paid by the giver, and there are annual and lifetime exemptions that determine when the tax is applicable. In the U.S., gifts below a certain threshold (e.g., $15,000 in 2021) are generally exempt from taxation.
