How does Swiftaid create a declaration on my behalf?

When you sign up to Swiftaid, you authorise Swiftaid to create and submit Gift Aid declarations for donations you make during that tax year (6th April to 5th April the following year).

Your authorisation for Swiftaid to create Gift Aid declarations automatically expires at the end of each tax year. However, you will automatically reauthorise Swiftaid the next time you make a donation and add Gift Aid through any platform or charity using Swiftaid. You can also reauthorise Swiftaid at any time here.

As a Gift Aid donor intermediary, Swiftaid creates a declaration each time you make a qualifying donation through any platform or hardware linked to Swiftaid. This saves you from filling out a form for every donation and reduces the administrative burden on charities.

Swiftaid generates these declarations using the information you provide, such as your name, address, and email.
