Yes — QuickBooks is recognised by HMRC for both MTD for VAT and MTD for Income Tax, and Intuit has been in the MTD programme since it began. That means it keeps digital records to the required standard, maintains the digital links, and submits directly to HMRC through the API rather than asking you to retype anything. Being recognised is not the whole story though. Compatibility is a property of the software; compliance is a property of your setup. A recognised package connected to the wrong VAT scheme, with a broken bank feed and six months of uncategorised transactions, will file confidently incorrect returns. So the software choice removes one risk and leaves the more important one, which is why the setup is worth doing properly rather than assuming the badge covers you.
