its a gift not income.....
I do not want to sound like I am bickering
however in most countries if you are given a gift it is treated as income, non taxable within certain limits
depending on the country
for example in the UK you can give someone a few thousand quid every year
any more than that and they have to pay tax on it
unless they give you the money as a loan
in Poland fathers can give their adult children unlimited sums of money without the child
having to pay tax on it
but they should declare the income (even though it is a gift) but would not be taxed on it
the rules about gifts are quite well established otherwise I could give my employees their
salaries and tell them that this week the company is giving them a gift
and this is exactly how it used to happen in Poland in the mid 90s
workers were receiving cash 'presents' from firms to commemorate the boss' daughter's birthday,
the date the firm was founded etc
this got cracked down on by ZUS
