Transferring money from India to the USA?

Am transferring money from India to my Wife's account who's a Dane. how much money Xfer is tax liable?

• hi, I am married to a dane and she was in India with me for the last three months. So obviously she was not working and got separated from her parents when she married me. Now she is back in Denmark and as we are in the process of filing family reunification so that I can go to Denmark, the Danish Government needs 62, 231 DKK as security from her. I have already sent her 30,000 DKK as a gift and wants to send remaining 30,000 DKK as gift too. As she got cash gifts during our wedding and it is her money. So just wants to know if this money that I will be transferring in her bank account, is that TAX LIABLE ? does she have to pay tax on Gift moeny that she received from abroad ? or what is that she can do to explain the authorities there in Denmark that this is her money ! and it is gift from her husband ! Please pour in your answers as am waiting desperately to hear from you all ! Many thanks in advance to all of you !

• Answer:

  According to the Danish Tax Authorities spouses are free to give each other gifts. There is no upper limit on the amount you can give her and she doesn't need to pay tax of the amount received. So all she would have to do is prove is that the money is from you and that you two are legally married.
