If you're sure. However, given SWMBO's track record I think the wine is safe

Aye. It'd be wasted on me. Would probably leave it to gather dust in a cupboard

I won £8 last time so spent it on tonights

I i give someone £1mil do they get taxed?

krooton said:
Yes, I think anything over £325k is gift/inheritance taxed, but members of a syndicate sharing a win don't pay tax.

The usual inheritance laws apply, so I don't think there's any tax to be paid by the recipient unless the giver dies within 7 years of giving.

Am I right in thinking I could get 3.1 million quid a year in interest alone from this ammount? :eek:

mrk · 13 Nov 2012 at 14:45

I suppose if you sat on that money like a chump and didn't do anything worthy with it, help people, set up charities, build schools in areas of need of education etc.

Something like that, plus with this amount you don't really need to account for inflation, as you will be long dead before that realistically impacts your millions.

So I can give 20 people £1,000,000 each and no-one pays any tax if I live for 7 years?

Thanks,

I was just looking here:

This can't be right...

I put in the 133000000 into the "lum sum investments" bit with an interest of 3% over 10 years and it ends up as...

£1,798,688,278.41

WhaaaA??? :eek:

Won twice on the lottery in the past 3 weeks! First time was the first time I'd played in ages, won £7 odd on the Euros (such a measly amount for 4 numbers!) and then won £3 again last week. The annoying thing about the last win is I was in the UAE when I received the "We have news about your ticket email" and I always get a lucky dip, so that combined with the fact that all lottery/gambling sites etc are blocked in UAE meant I couldn't check how much I'd won for a week!
