Who pays the Gift tax?

If I give someone a monetary gift do either of us have to pay any taxes on the money given?

Gifts are neither taxable or deductible on your tax return.  Any gift to an individual that exceeds $14,000 in a year requires a separate gift tax return to be filed (Form 709-United States Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Return) by the giver - the receiver of the gift does not report anything.
