(a) You say that the one time license can be used forever and that 2019 version can still be bought on a license. My versions of 2019, 2020 and 2021 all have "N/A" in the "product expiry" heading of "product information" (f2). Does that mean that all of these versions will carry on working even after 31 Jan 2023? Did you refer to 2019 as (1) that is available for purchase now or (2) that is the latest version that will keep working?
(b) You say that MTD requires a supported system of QBD. I would have expected that to be the case but could not find out for sure. Are you confident of that? And presumably we would still be able to use bridging software (if still allowed by then).

(a) Similar to QB Online, as long as they charge a fee, they will support the QBD version. The question is why they chose to end support for QBD 2021 in January 2023 instead of May 2024 like QBD 2021 US and CA. They were supposed to end support for QBD 2019 in May 2022, but they appear to be ending support for QBD 2020 in January 2023 instead of May 2023. We can still help our clients (mostly not in UK) to provide one-time licenses for QBD 2019 until stocks last.
(b) A supported QBD version will use the web connector to integrate with other systems. Once the version is outdated, they will disable the web connector function. If you want to use an outdated version to integrate with MTD system, someone has to develop a bridging software to import the QB Desktop file manually. Another option, utilize a trial account of QB Online and migrate your QB Desktop file into it to file your VAT return anytime you need.
