Features removed or deprecated in the Finance 10.0.43 release
Making Tax Digital – VAT return submission in the United Kingdom for on-premises deployments
Reason for deprecation/removal
To meet security requirements, we're implementing modifications to the Dynamics 365 Finance direct system-to-system integration with the HMRC web service for submitting VAT returns for companies registered for VAT in the UK. This enhancement involves the adoption of an Electronic Invoicing service as an intermediary that facilitates secure access to the storage of credentials essential for software authorization within the HMRC APIs. These services aren't accessible from on-premises deployments.
