Gift Aid declarations and HMRC claims
Donors complete their declaration on the kiosk, or later from a link in their receipt email. SwiftCause prepares your Gift Aid schedule in the format HMRC requires (R68).
Gift Aid declarations, taken at the moment of giving.
Donors complete their declaration on the kiosk, or later from a link in their receipt email. Each donor receives a PDF copy of their declaration.
- A declaration covers future gifts, so returning donors are not asked again.
Gift Aid claim files, ready for Charities Online.
SwiftCause prepares your Gift Aid schedule in the format HMRC requires (R68). You check it, upload it through Charities Online, and mark the claim as paid when HMRC's payment arrives.
- Up to 1,000 rows per file, with small donations grouped as HMRC allows.
- Each claim tracked from draft to claimed to paid.
- Rebuild a claim file if anything changes before you submit.
Records kept the way HMRC and UK GDPR require.
SwiftCause keeps the records a charity is required to keep, and logs every important change in an audit trail that cannot be edited.
- Gift Aid declarations and claims kept for 6 years, as HMRC requires.
Common questions
How does Gift Aid work on SwiftCause?
When a UK taxpayer chooses to add Gift Aid, they complete the declaration on screen, so there are no paper forms. SwiftCause then prepares your claim file in the format HMRC requires (R68), ready for your treasurer to upload and claim the extra 25%.
