Question 1

What makes a POS system a good fit for a Ghanaian shop?

Accepted Answer

Look for reliable offline selling, simple hardware you can source locally, and clear VAT and levies handling. Just as important is whether the system keeps your stock and accounts in sync, so you are not reconciling three tools at month-end. Tallium focuses on that last point by putting POS, inventory and books in one place.

Question 2

Does Tallium work with Ghana's VAT and the GRA E-VAT system?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you can configure Ghana VAT and the applicable levies, and Tallium structures your invoice data so it can align with the GRA E-VAT system as you onboard. Reports are built to map to your VAT and Levies Return. Confirm current rates, e-invoicing requirements and timelines with GRA or a local tax professional, as rules change.

Question 3

When must my business register for VAT in Ghana?

Accepted Answer

As a general guide, businesses supplying taxable goods above GHS 750,000 in taxable supplies are expected to register with the Ghana Revenue Authority and obtain a TIN. Thresholds and treatment can differ for services and can change over time. Always confirm your specific obligation with GRA or a local tax professional before deciding.

Question 4

How much does Tallium cost in Ghana?

Accepted Answer

Tallium is priced per unit in US dollars, billed monthly from signup with no free trial: a shop or store is $79, an online store $159, and a warehouse $99 per month. Each unit includes the full core — accounting, VAT and tax handling, receipt scanning, reports, the mobile app and AI insights. You can cancel anytime.

Question 5

Can I keep using my current till hardware?

Accepted Answer

Tallium runs on standard phones, tablets and PCs and works with common receipt printers, so many shops keep the hardware they already have. If a local vendor sells rugged, locally serviced till hardware, that can still be a real advantage for very high-volume counters. Check your specific printer or drawer model before switching.

Question 6

Is Tallium suitable for a business with more than one branch?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you manage every branch from one dashboard with shared products, pricing and reporting, rather than licensing each terminal separately. Sales from all locations flow into the same books and inventory. That makes it easier to see true stock levels and performance across your whole business.
