Dad gives daughter land worth NT$5 million, and the gift tax is 0! But giving it to his daughter-in-law would mean paying NT$256,000? Here’s the key.
The Ministry of Finance said that when a father gives his daughter land designated for public facilities with an announced current value of NT$5 million, the gift is exempt from gift tax because she is a direct-line relative. If he gives it to his daughter-in-law, however, she is an in-law and NT$256,000 in tax is due.
Facts
- Under Article 50-1 of the Urban Planning Act, the transfer of land reserved for public facilities through a gift between spouses or direct-line relatives is exempt from gift tax.
- In 2026, the annual gift tax exemption is NT$2.44 million, with the applicable tax rate applied to any amount above that.
- A father-in-law and daughter-in-law are related by marriage, not by direct bloodline, so they cannot qualify for the gift tax exemption for land reserved for public facilities.
- If land with an announced current value of NT$5 million is given to a daughter-in-law, then after deducting the NT$2.44 million exemption, the remaining NT$2.56 million is taxed at 10%, resulting in gift tax of NT$256,000.
- Under Article 39 of the Land Tax Act, the transfer of qualifying land reserved for public facilities is exempt from land value increment tax.
- If the urban planning document specifies that land for public facilities is to be acquired through land readjustment, the transfer is not eligible for an exemption from land value increment tax.
- Even when a gift qualifies for a gift tax exemption, a tax return must still be filed: the land’s value is included in the total gift amount, and the same amount is then claimed as a deduction.

This article examines the origins and details of the folk belief that the dead drink Meng Po soup before reincarnation, citing the Ministry of Education dictionary and The Jade Record to explain its other names, purpose and compulsory use in the underworld.
