This is a real issue.

Not being able to 'read only' look at last years transactions is an issue for HMRC who may want to audit at any point, also looking at previous sales dates for warranty returns etc.

We use bridging software to send our Tax reports in.

Can we subscribe to the USA version (or any other version) to continue using QB Desktop? If not, why not..

We only use QB to record sales, send PO.s, receive payments etc.

QB online is RUBBISH and has none of the functionality we expect, its just a dumbed down version for self employed plumbers etc.,
