- potentially exempt transfers
When an individual makes a gift to another person, the gift will usually be liable to inheritance tax only if the donor dies within seven years of making the gift. If the donor survives for seven years, the gift will be exempt from inheritance tax. At the date the gift is made, its final status is therefore uncertain and it is referred to as a potentially exempt transfer. Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein financial glossary
