## Father used NT$5 million to subscribe to company capital-increase shares in his son's name. The shares were never registered under his name, so why is it still considered a gift?

The Kaohsiung National Taxation Bureau of the Ministry of Finance reminds the public that when parents provide funds to subscribe to company capital-increase shares in their children's names, the transaction may still be treated as a gift under Article 5 of the Estate and Gift Tax Act, even if the shares are not registered in the parents' names. For example, if a father uses NT$5 million to buy shares for his son, after deducting the NT$2.44 million tax exemption, the taxable net gift is NT$2.56 million, and gift tax at a 10% rate would be about NT$256,000. The source of the funds is key to the determination.

Facts:
- Under Article 5 of the Estate and Gift Tax Act, using one's own funds to acquire property for another person without compensation may be legally treated as a gift.
- The Ministry of Finance has announced that the gift tax exemption for 2026 will remain NT$2.44 million.
- When the total value of gifts made in the same year exceeds the exemption, a gift tax return must be filed within 30 days of the gift that caused the total to exceed the exemption.
- Article 5 of the current Estate and Gift Tax Act also stipulates that property acquired by a person with limited legal capacity or a person without legal capacity is generally considered a gift from their legal representative or guardian. This does not apply, however, if it can be proven that the funds used for payment already belonged to the purchaser.
