It will affect me, but I'm not in a position to do much about it or work on a solution, and am certainly not on the -devel list. I need to talk to my accountant later in the year about this. My VAT affairs are pretty straightforward and I've always done my own returns. I might have to move the business books away from GC if there is no alternative. it does seem to me from reading the link provided in the OP that a GC report or two feeding into a spreadsheet containing the "api magic" HMRC talk about might be a way forward. GC doesn't have to directly submit the return to HMRC, if I understood the notes properly.
