Question 1

Is Tallium a good alternative to Zoho Books in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tallium Accounting covers the same core bookkeeping and UAE VAT work as Zoho Books, and adds a built-in POS, inventory, e-commerce order management and loss prevention in one account, so many businesses replace several separate tools with Tallium.

Question 2

Does Tallium include a POS instead of a separate system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. POS and cashier are built into Tallium and share the same ledger, stock and VAT as your accounting, so sales flow straight into your books with no third-party POS to connect.

Question 3

Can I migrate from QuickBooks or Xero to Tallium?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can bring your chart of accounts, customers, suppliers and opening balances across. Talk to us on WhatsApp and we will walk you through the move.

Question 4

How does Tallium pricing compare?

Accepted Answer

Tallium uses simple per-unit pricing in USD, billed monthly, where each shop, online store, warehouse or factory is one unit that includes the full platform. Because POS, inventory and e-commerce are included, you are not paying for several add-ons on top.

Question 5

Is Tallium FTA-ready for VAT 201 and Corporate Tax?

Accepted Answer

Tallium builds your FTA VAT 201 return as you trade and prepares a Corporate Tax computation pack. Always file through, and confirm current requirements with, the UAE Federal Tax Authority.
