Hi Mark Armistead,

I understand your disappointment with the discontinuation of QuickBooks Desktop in the UK. The decision to discontinue QuickBooks Desktop in the UK is due to market conditions. The new Making Tax Digital for VAT rules and regular updates to tax requirements. Plus, the increasing demand for cloud-based applications is causing the decline in demand for desktop software.

However, I'd suggest submitting feedback to our product engineers. They may look into this suggestion and consider not discontinuing the product. To send feedback, you can go to the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online. Then, choose Product Suggestions and enter your feedback.

You may need to know more about the QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation. You can check out this article: QuickBooks Desktop discontinuation support hub.
