An older brother receives land worth 1 million yuan, while his younger brother gets land worth only 600,000 yuan in an exchange! Neither receives cash, so why might tax authorities still deem it a gift?
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
This article explains that when siblings exchange land of unequal value without agreeing on compensation, tax authorities may deem the difference a gift. Although the 2026 gift tax exemption is as high as 2.44 million yuan and tax is generally not due, potential tax liabilities such as land value increment tax and house-and-land transaction income tax, as well as filing obligations, should be considered.
Facts
The Ministry of Finance's Tax Portal gives the example of A exchanging land with an announced current value of 1 million yuan for B's land worth 600,000 yuan, without compensation; the transaction is deemed a 400,000-yuan gift from A to B.
Article 5 of the Estate and Gift Tax Act stipulates that when property is transferred for significantly inadequate consideration, the difference is treated as a gift.
In 2026 (ROC year 115), the annual gift tax exemption is 2.44 million yuan per donor.
A land exchange is a type of transfer for consideration and, like a sale, is subject to land value increment tax.
Exchanging a house or land with another person is considered a real estate transaction even if no money changes hands, and a tax return must be filed within 30 days from the day after the ownership transfer registration is completed.
