what about, say, "sponsorship"?
There are gift tax provisions which deem gifts from corporates to be gifts from their shareholder(s).
So €100k from Gekko Limited to Brendan Burgess is deemed to be a €100k gift from Gordon Gekko.
So my company can gift my kids €3,000 a year and it's deemed to come from me? And is therefore a tax free gift?!!
No, that’s BIK territory I suspect as they’re your kids.
But if you give me, say, €50k, it might be okay.
A cheque is fine with me by the way.
