Good points. I have bridge software already working and approved by HMRC for
use. My initial thought was to have a report in GnuCash that generated the
VAT report for a period. There would then be a menu option to submit VAT.
This menu option would generate a csv file containing the VAT values for
submission. The bridge software is then invoked independently and submits
the VAT return to HMRC. As there are only about 6 users interested, it is
definitely not worth the effort!

That is actually a good approach.

Look at it from my point of view, living over here, 50 states potentially each requiring sales tax filed electronic (actually, not all states impose a sales tax -- but of those that do, neither the tax rates nor on what sorts of things imposed is uniform)

That sort of detail is best kept out of the accounting program itself. Then users need only install whatever bridges and filing apps which would be needed for their jurisdiction(s)*

* plural, because a business would need to file to every state it had customers in
