Business software built for Iraq

Iraq is one of the Middle East's largest economies and one of its fastest-rebuilding markets, with a young population, a rapidly digitising banking sector and a business base spread across Baghdad, Basra and the Kurdistan Region. Companies operating federally, in the Kurdistan Region, or across both adopt Zoho and Odoo to run finance, sales and operations on a single system.

CurrencyIraqi dinar (IQD), with USD widely used in trade
TaxNo general VAT; sales tax on selected goods and services + 15% corporate income tax (35% oil and gas)
FilingGeneral Commission for Taxes; the Kurdistan Region files separately
PayrollState Social Security Department - 12% employer, 5% employee

Why businesses in Iraq choose Shyphan

Trading, contracting, logistics, oil services, telecoms and professional services firms are the backbone of the Iraqi private sector, and most of them run on spreadsheets and disconnected tools for far longer than they should. We put a single system in place - quotes, orders, invoices, stock and collections - without asking the team to change how they actually work.

Iraq applies no general VAT. A sales tax applies to selected goods and services, and corporate income tax is 15% for most sectors and 35% for oil and gas, filed with the General Commission for Taxes. Companies registered in the Kurdistan Region file with the Region's own tax administration, so groups operating on both sides of that line need their entities kept apart in the books from day one. We configure your finance system for that split, for dinar and dollar working, and for Arabic, Kurdish and English documents.

Where business is registered

Federal Iraq through the Ministry of Trade in Baghdad, the Kurdistan Region through its own registrar in Erbil, plus the Khor Al-Zubair and Al-Qaim free zones and the Basra port corridor at Umm Qasr. Groups often hold entities on both sides.

  • Ticket types, early-bird pricing, discount codes and sales tax-aware checkout

Understanding Zoho Backstage

Is Zoho Backstage the right fit for your business?

Zoho Backstage suits Iraq conference organisers, exhibition teams and companies running their own events. If that describes you the platform will earn its licence quickly; if it does not, we will say so on the discovery call rather than after the invoice.

The capabilities that matter most in Iraqi deployments are branded event microsite builder with agenda, speakers and sponsor pages and ticket types, early-bird pricing, discount codes and sales tax-aware checkout. Everything else is configuration around those two.

Iraqi sales tax on selected goods and services, corporate income tax above the 15% corporate income tax rate and the phased digital tax record-keeping programme have pushed businesses towards systems that produce compliant documents by default. We size the edition against what you will genuinely use, which frequently means recommending a cheaper plan than the one you arrived expecting to buy.

Across Iraq

Zoho Backstage for businesses across the Iraq

We implement Zoho Backstage for clients in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Mosul, Najaf, Karbala, Sulaymaniyah and Kirkuk. Delivery is remote on Iraq hours with on-site workshops where the scale justifies it.

Iraqi deployments almost always need three things handled properly: sales tax and corporate income tax treatment, integration with the finance system already in place, and training that survives the first busy month. Those are the parts we spend the most time on.

Most clients look at these next: Zoho Desk Consultant in Iraq, Zoho People in Baghdad and Zoho One Support Services in Iraq.

Zoho vs the usual stack

Why Iraqi teams switch to Zoho

How Zoho, set up by an authorized partner, compares with a typical Salesforce or HubSpot stack. Figures are approximate and vary by plan.

Apps included 40+ apps in Zoho One under one loginCRM only; marketing, support and finance are separate paid products
Typical cost per user / month From about $37 for the full suiteOften $150-300+ once add-ons are included
Accounting & Iraqi sales tax Built in with Zoho Books (GCT sales tax)Needs QuickBooks, NetSuite or third-party add-ons
Custom apps & automation Low-code Zoho Creator + Deluge includedExtra platform licensing and developer cost

FAQ

Zoho Backstage in Iraq: questions answered

Does ticketing handle Iraqi sales tax?
Yes. We configure sales tax on selected goods and services on ticket types, produce compliant tax invoices for delegates and reconcile takings into Zoho Books.
Can we run exhibition-scale check-in?
Yes. QR badge scanning and badge printing handle the throughput, and sponsor lead scanning gives exhibitors the data that sells next year's stand.
Can we run hybrid events?
Yes. Backstage handles the in-person side and connects with Zoho Webinar for the virtual audience, with both reported together.
How much does Zoho Backstage cost in Iraq?
Zoho licences it per user or per organisation depending on the edition, billed by Zoho directly. Our implementation is quoted separately as a fixed price in IQD after a free discovery call, so there are two clear numbers and no bundled surprises.
How long does a Zoho Backstage rollout take?
A focused Zoho Backstage build for a small Iraqi team typically goes live in three to six weeks including data migration and training. Larger scopes with integrations or multi-entity requirements are phased so value lands early.
Do you work outside Baghdad?
Yes. We deliver across Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Mosul, Najaf, Karbala, Sulaymaniyah and Kirkuk, remotely as standard with on-site attendance in Baghdad, Basra and Erbil where the project justifies it.
What does the first conversation cover?
A short discovery call: what you run today, what is not working, who it affects and what a good outcome looks like. You leave it knowing whether we are a fit and roughly what the work involves, with no obligation either way.
Who will we actually work with?
A named consultant who stays with the engagement, not a rotating queue. You will meet them before you commit, and they are the person accountable for delivery.
Are prices quoted in dinar or dollars?
We quote a fixed price after a free discovery call and can present it in IQD or USD, whichever matches how you budget. Zoho's own licence fees are billed by Zoho directly, usually in USD, and we keep that separate on the quote so you can see what is our fee and what is the software.
Can you help a company that is still running on spreadsheets?
That is the usual starting point in Iraq and it is not a problem. We migrate customers, suppliers, open balances and stock from Excel, clean the duplicates on the way in, and run the old sheet alongside the new system for the first cycle so nobody has to trust it blindly.
Can you handle a company registered in both federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons clients call us. The two are separate registrations with separate tax administrations, so we set the entities up as distinct books from the start - separate chart of accounts, separate tax codes, separate document numbering - with consolidated reporting on top. Retrofitting that split after a year of mixed transactions is far more expensive than doing it on day one.

Who this is for

Where Zoho Backstage is not the answer

It is a poor fit if you need a heavily bespoke system with no commercial off-the-shelf equivalent, or if nobody internally can own the data. In either case we will tell you on the first call rather than after the invoice.
