Solution

  • Calculate a 20% tax on Gift Aid donations.
  • Check what is the total tax due before FTCR.
  • From a total tax due before FTCR, deduct a tax calculated on Gift Aid, that will give you the maximum amount of FTCR allowable.
  • Overwrite automatically calculated FTCR amount in
    Other return information schedule
    Miscellaneous
    Forgein tax credit relief
     with a value from the previous step. Check if the test in live is successful.
  • If still unsure, contact support.
