I suppose that depends on where you live Edward. Many of us don't have to deal with MTD. On Sun, Jan 17, 2021 at 1:45 PM Edward Bainton wrote: > Of the 6, I have to confess that I read it too hastily and I don't have to > do VAT, so the VAT bridge won't be of interest to me. > > But

Of the 6, I have to confess that I read it too hastily and I don't have to do VAT, so the VAT bridge won't be of interest to me. But crikey, if you can't use GnuCash for MTD, it's not much use anymore, is it? On Sun, 17 Jan 2021 at 19:05, Stephen M. Butler < stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com> wrote:

Chris, As someone sitting across the pond from you... I think there is definitely interest in MTD in GnuCash. The issue, I think, is going to be the GPL nature of anything you would contribute to GnuCash, and the challenge of obtaining the API key for said GPLed code. Having said that, I

Hi Mark, This is a bit of Java code that takes a csv input and then submits to HMRC and has been approved for production for over a year. I have been impressed with GnuCash and surprised that it does not have a MTD VAT submission option. It will require a bit of work to integrate with GnuCash and
