If I pay 20k medical bill for friend will she be taxed for bill?

Anybody can receive up to 16,750 from un-related people, and CAT doesn't apply.

I think you can claim a tax credit for 20% of it.

Tax relief is given on payments for health expenses, but it does not have to be the health expenses of the taxpayer.

My worry is that she will be taxed or in case of inheritance will lower CAT allowance.
