HI Giovann_G. From a customer perspective it is clear that your top priority is actually increasing your profits.... 

There are no new MTD for VAT rules whatsoever so it isnt to do with that at all. MTD for VAT returns submit without issue and are on a practical level identical to the VAT returns the software was capable of submitting for years before that.

As for MTD for income tax, firstly this doesn't exist yet and secondly if Intuit are not capable of adding some submission functionality to submit a handful of figures on a quarterly basis. Its just a good excuse to cull your product line and increase your profitability. Intuit are looking silly by forgetting they are talking to accountants and bookkeepers here... we know all about UK tax regulation and businesses removing services to increase profits.
A bug reason I am so upset with all this is the way that Intuit have gone about it. Woeful customer care from start to finish! I love your "For now" comment re the data migration tool. It is clearly lost on Intuit that telling us all we must move ahead of the switch off but not yet having sorted out their migration solution is a real joke.
