tax advice

Hi I have been gifted some money from my fathers sisters and brothers. My father died several years ago. my aunts and uncles were left some money by a relative recently. as my father was no longer around he was not included but my relations gave me some money from their cut.

as they have already paid tax on this do i need to pay tax too?

you can receive approx 40k tax free from an aunt or uncle ---
