Under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, gift tax is not counted on the first $11,000 per person per year (more or less, depending upon which year the gift was made).
== == The tax is paid as a gift tax by the givor. (Although it has to be a gift , and some things like gifts by an employer to an employee are actually always considered payroll.)
If you gave any one person gifts in 2006 that valued at more than $12,000, you must report the total gifts to the Internal Revenue Service and may have to pay tax on the gifts. The person who receives your gift does not have to report the gift to the IRS or pay gift or income tax on its value. Gifts include money and property, including the use of property without expecting to receive something of equal value in return. If you sell something at less than its value or make an interest-free or reduced-interest loan, you may be making a gift. There are some exceptions to the tax rules on gifts. The following gifts do not count against the annual limit: * Tuition or Medical Expenses that you pay directly to an educational or medical institution for someone's benefit * Gifts to your Spouse * Gifts to a Political Organization for its use * Gifts to Charities If you are married, both you and your spouse can give separate gifts of up to the annual limit to the same person without making a taxable gift. Now importantly in family situations...there may be a credit or exclusion available if there is ever an estate tax situation.

Does the recipent have to pay gift tax when given a house?
No, the recipient NEVER pays gift tax. Gifts are not income and not taxable. However, the person GIVING you the gift may have to pay gift tax on the value of the house that exceeds the annual exclusion of $15,000. They may be better off gifting you a partial ownership over several years, where each part is worth less than $15,000. If the gift is from your spouse, there is no gift tax.

You are twenty three years old and you are about to buy your first house How will your taxes be affected by your mother giving you the down payment for the house It will be between 30-40 thousand doll?
Your taxes will not be affected at all. (Well, you'll have to borrow less, so you'll pay less interest, so you'll get a smaller interest deduction.) However, if your mother gives gifts totally more than $13,000 to any individual in 2009, she needs to file a gift tax return, Form 709. The amount of her gift over the $13,000 exemption will be deducted from her lifetime gift tax allowance and her estate tax allowance. Once her lifetime gift tax allowance ($1,000,000) is used up, she must pay gift tax. If she is married, her husband could give you $13,000 of the gift in order to avoid using up part of the gift tax allowance. If you have any medical or tuition bills (not student loans), your mother could pay those directly to the medical service provider or school instead of giving you a gift and they would be exempt from the gift tax and not count against the $13,000 annual allowance. Then you could use the money you normally would have spent for these things towards the house.
