With the news that HMRC was closing its VAT helpline on the 22nd May, a mere five days after its announcement, the AccountingWEB community were unsurprisingly incensed about the decision. And with the date of the closure spotted to be a whole year out of date, accountants are beginning to feel a "sense of chaos" from HMRC.

On this week's episode, Richard and Tom are joined by contributor Jason Croke to discuss HMRC's decision and its focus on Digital by Default.

Also on the pod, Tom and Richard chat about the recent announcement of Intuit Quickbook's desktop discontinuation and consider what this decision means for the UK accounting sector.
