Default Re: Gift tax question

[ QUOTE ]
Scenario: someone from the UK gives me (US citizen) a $50,000 wedding gift.

Is there a special gift tax on this or do I simply owe income tax as if my income had increased by the gift value? What about for property? Same thing?

You don't have to file anything and you don't owe any tax. You can receive any amount.
