I just asked them the question if I could review the practice management element before subscribing for 12 months (as the cheaper option). This is the reply I received:
"I can give you a demo of the new standalone software that we have purchased from Farnell Clarke who developed it and are using in their practice. The features are going to be incorporated into Taxfiler over the coming year. Some of the feature are going to be included free of charge while others may not be relevant to all users chargeable."
So it doesn't look as though the enhancements will be available from 1 July (but "over the coming year") and not all of it will be free as I believed from earlier corres
Also now looking for an alternative or back to VT!

Thanks for the replies - It was actually a voluntary registration so I guess it would make sense to now register them for MTD (they are using digital software anyway).
Presumably, other new registrations stating annual turnover will be in excess of £85k are automatically enrolled? (but I don't like to pre-empt HMRC thinking logically!)
Correct - the clients not direct debited (now including my own firm!) had not yet switched over to MTD and filed under the "old" system via SAGE One. Acknowledgements have been received for the VAT returns but no DD raised.
I've got at least 3 x 31 March 2019 returns, all filed through SAGE One without the clients having registered for MTD yet, and HMRC have still to direct debit (would have expected the DD's last Friday).
At the gateway I can download a copy of the filed returns and everything appears "normal".
3 cases spotted so far - all QE 03/19 returns and submitted via SAGE One in early April (with successful submission receipts).
None of them have yet been registered for MTD so the retuens were filed under the old system. None of the 3 have been direct debited!
On a side note - would be really handy to have several CoA options in the SAGE cloud offerings. Currently spend a couple of hours per client creating the CoA, many of which are identical

Had the same issue when using AVAST's SafeZone browser - switched to Chrome and all was OK

Confusing!!

Have HMRC temporarily suspended DDs?

Thanks both - I'll suggest the clients make a manual payment and re-enter their bank details at the gateway
