Which comes back to the question: what it MTD really about ?

I suspect that they want a 'closed box' accounting package where, once entered,
numbers/invoices/... cannot be changed - which means that it is harder for
someone to fiddle the books.

They are starting with small business and landlords - which quite ignores the
fact that most fiddling is done by expensive accountants who work for the large
international companies (who also offer civil servants nice consultancies upon
retirement).
