What happens to gifts to heads of state?
337675
There are two kinds of gifts to the head of states. 1. a personal gift to the Presidents or prime ministers, which are considered as personal and can be kept privately. 2. there are gifts which are considered "official" gifts, which is a gift to the country or state. These gifts are considered public property and should be turned over to the state.  \n\nUsually, gifts are not taxable income. the amount to be spent are limited, depending on the funds that are available for these purpose. Usually these fund are not divulged except to the state auditor.

dont expect a gift, it is possible someone may get you one to mark the occasion, but they are mainly coming to celebrate with you. i didnt get a gift, and wasnt expecting one. well, i say i didnt get a gift, but, a new life with Jesus is sure special

You could take out a classified ad in USA Today, that would \nreach many people. Perhaps an advertisement on CNN, worldwide coverage there. Time magazine, People, Peking News,\nlots of possibilities.\n\nAs far as a gift, he has you.....what more could he want.\n\nGood luck to you both.

Depends, IN America, the head of state is President. He hold the final power of desicion making. He is the head of legislative and excutive.\nIN ENGLAND, the head of state is Prime Minister, he take all the meetings working, and give information to his King(Queen). Prime Minister make the desicion, but act under the signature of QUEEN. Prime Minister is head of excutive not the head of legislative.

There is a disclaimer on your gift certificate notice that states the certificate is not exchangeable for money in any country.

They will send everything you need to you.  You won't need to ask for anything because they know that it is illegal to keep anything that is not theirs.

The previous answer is sort of correct. The basis in the hands of the recipient is usually the same as the person giving the gift.

The main thing I saw was that it was deemed inappropriate to accept gifts and favours from vendors. For example we weren't allowed to go on golfing trips or accept bottles of liquor/wine at holiday periods. \n\nIt was classed as if we were accepting a bribe for future orders. Ouch!\n\nEverything had to be declared. A bit of a pain really, but we all put everything in a raffle and ended up with something at the end anyway!

it's been done before and he will be surprised because he is not expecting it since you already told him what it was, he will expect a different gift.\n\nLots of fun isn't it.  Merry Xmas

Ofcourse they do.However their passports are special Diplomatic Passports and not normal passports.This is because as heads of states they are entitled to some special priveleges and clearances which normal people do not require.

They are sent overseas and donated to the less fortunate. They actually answered this question during the Super Bowl this year. I myself would have just sent them to all the cry babies in Seattle.

any gift, foreign or not, worth over 11,000 is taxable by the US government.  Most likely they wouldn't find out, but we all know what happened to the guy from survivor who avoided paying his taxes.
