Probably not. But options are possible.
The state in most cases allowsTax Code of the Russian Federation Article 217. Income not taxable (tax exempt) accept gifts and money and not share with him. If you receive a certain amount of money on your card, receive an expensive smartphone or a ticket to the Maldives, you don't have to worry about taxes. It does not matter who the donor is - a brother, a matchmaker, or an unfamiliar but generous citizen.
However, in terms of taxes, there are some nuances in the field of gifts. Let's figure it out.
What gifts are sometimes taxed
There is a category of gifts that personal income tax are taxed. These are real estate, vehicles, shares, shares, shares. In this case, the cost of the presentation is not important. For example, having received a smartphone for 100 thousand, you do not pay taxes. But if we are talking about a share per thousand, you are already obliged to fill out an income tax return and give part of the value of the security to the state.
However, there is an important addition. Houses, cars, securities can also be received as a gift without taxes. But only if they are given by a close relative or family member. These include spouses, children, parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, and grandchildren.

But if we are talking about a large amount, you can try to recognize the person as a close relative through the court. Of course, there must be grounds for this.

What gifts are always taxed
For any gifts more expensive than 4 thousand rubles from individual entrepreneurs and organizations, a tax is provided. But you need to pay it not with the entire cost, but with the difference between the price and the threshold value.
Sometimes it is not what is important, but who gave it. You need to pay tax on presents from individual entrepreneurs and organizations, but only if their cost exceeds 4 thousand rubles. Moreover, personal income tax is calculated based on the difference between the price and the threshold value.
An example will make it clearer. You received a gift from the organization worth 6.5 thousand rubles. To understand how much to pay tax, you need to subtract 4 from 6.5. It turns out 2.5 thousand.
However, the organization often calculates and gives the required amount on its own. So you usually don't need to delve into this. But it is better to clarify this question so as not to be late with filing a declaration and not get fined.
