Can anyone recommend Trust and estate return software which automatically calculates foreign tax credit relief? It can be fairly complex with the restrictions on relief. TaxCalc is effectively only a form-filler and the trusts receive dividends from numerous overseas companies in addition to other income sources. To save time I'd like software that can deal with the FTC calcs rather than needing to do the FTC claim manually.

Will limit FTCR to higher of UK and overseas tax, but will assume that if under the provisions of a DTA items are taxed exclusively in Jurisdiction X then no Jurisdiction Y tax will have been paid - in reality Y often does tax in error, and no FTCR is available in this case.
