Or wait until the next tax year for the last £1,000, and then you will have whatever tax you did not pay on the £9,000 to add to it. Sorry, that still leaves the decision who to give it to.

You can give £3,000 to each person without paying tax, so you could start with that, then worry about the other £1,000. Perhaps that to the one without children?

I'd give some to the GS, then share the remainder equally. It's what Mr H and I have done in our will!

I treat grandsons differently to the kids. You're saving for their future.

I'd put a good amount into something like the Kids' Fixed Savings account here

Then give to the DDs however much you think they will use sensibly.

If you had..lets say £10,000 2 DDs (one 30 one 37) 1 Gs (age 7) yrs.......
how would you divide it
would you consider the DD with GS to maybe have £4,000 and GS £1,000 and other DD (no children ) the full £5,000 or would you dived it........sort of both DDs say £4,500 each and the rest to GS?
