I'm sorry but it seems I am caught in a never ending vortex of Sage issues and am posting on here so often, whether its payroll or accounts.

So now we are having to do some ridiculous reconnecting to MTD before we can submit a VAT return. This involves receiving a very long code by email which has to be entered in sage before we are told "Congratulations you have re-established the link to MTD". So yes of course I have done all this and the return was eventually submitted. What is this all about? The code seems entirely to do with Sage, not HMRC and the email is from Sage, not HMRC. There is nothing on any HMRC help page which refers to this. I also submit returns through Xero, Quickbooks and Absolute and none of them have asked for this. What is going on as frankly I am really struggling to justify my continued allegiance and recommendation to clients to Sage. I've been with you since the days of floppy discs and swopping programme disks and data disks into an Amstrad but you really testing me now!
