On Wednesday 20 October, Intuit emailed QuickBooks Desktop users to inform them, “We are writing to let you know that sadly we have taken the decision to discontinue QuickBooks Desktop and Desktop Support for our UK customers.

“We won’t be launching a 2022 edition of QuickBooks Desktop in the UK, but you will continue to receive full support until 31 January 2023.”

An announcement on the QuickBooks website expanded on the company’s reasons for closing down the UK desktop edition. “Given the recent changes to accounting and tax regulations, and with more on the horizon, we need to ensure you’re on a product that can be supported with regular updates,” Intuit said.

Quickbooks will look at bringing an export data facility but if you are a QuickBooks Desktop user and would like help with migration we can offer simple solutions to migrate to Quickbooks online or Xero so contact us to find out how we can help.
