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.

Understanding Zoho Books

What Zoho Books actually gives a Iraqi business

Zoho Books is cloud accounting built for Iraqi tax reporting and dinar/dollar multi-currency trade.

For Iraqi teams that matters because staff turnover and visa cycles are higher than most markets, so processes that live in one person's head or one person's WhatsApp are a genuine business risk. We configure it for federal Iraq and Kurdistan Region companies that need GCT-ready books without an on-premise ledger, with sales tax, corporate income tax, social security and Kurdistan Region realities already accounted for.

Typical integrations we build alongside it include Zoho CRM, Zoho Inventory, Stripe, Zain Cash, Qi Card, Miswag, Orisdi and Iraq bank feeds, so Zoho Books stops being an island and becomes part of how the business runs.

Across Iraq

Zoho Books across the Iraq

We work with federal Iraq and Kurdistan Region companies that need GCT-ready books without an on-premise ledger in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Mosul, Najaf, Karbala, Sulaymaniyah and Kirkuk. Engagements run remotely on Iraq hours with on-site workshops in Baghdad, Basra and Erbil where the scale justifies it.

Whatever the sector, the pattern is the same: 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. Our job on a Zoho books setup services engagement is to make that specific to your business rather than generic to your industry.

Zoho vs the usual stack

FAQ

Zoho Books Setup Services: questions answered

What is the difference between setup and full implementation?
Setup is a defined, fast configuration of the essentials for a smaller team. Implementation adds process design workshops, complex automation, integrations and larger migrations.
How quickly can we be live?
For a small team on a standard process, commonly two to three weeks from kick-off including data load and training.
Can we expand later?
Yes, and the setup is built with that in mind: clean naming, sensible data model, no shortcuts that would need unpicking when you add modules.
Is Zoho Books suitable for Iraqi sales tax and the GCT?
Yes. We configure the 5% rate, zero-rated and exempt categories, reverse charge on imports, your tax identification number and bilingual tax invoice templates, then reconcile a full the annual tax return period with you before handover.
Does Zoho Books handle Iraq corporate income tax?
It gives you the ledger discipline corporate income tax needs: a clean chart of accounts, related-party and entity separation, and reporting against the 15% corporate income tax rate. The filing itself stays with your tax agent, and we structure the books so their job is straightforward.
What happens if we want to leave?
Everything lives in your own Zoho account. Documentation, admin credentials and a handover period are part of the agreement, so there is no lock-in to us.
Is Shyphan an Authorized Zoho Partner in Iraq?
Yes. Shyphan is an Authorized Zoho Partner listed on Zoho's official partner directory, with certified consultants across Zoho CRM, Books, Creator, People and Analytics, and a registered presence in RAK Free Trade Zone.
How much does this cost?
We quote a fixed price in IQD after a free discovery call, so you know the total before committing. Zoho licence fees are billed separately by Zoho and we will tell you exactly which edition you need and why.
How does this hold up with unreliable power and connectivity?
Everything runs in the browser and on mobile, so a laptop dropping off does not lose work already saved, and staff can carry on from a phone on mobile data. For field, delivery and warehouse teams we lean on mobile apps that tolerate patchy coverage and sync when the connection returns, rather than assuming an always-on office network.
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.
How long does implementation take?
A single-app rollout for a small team typically goes live in three to five weeks including data migration and training. Multi-entity, multi-currency or heavily automated builds run six to twelve weeks and we phase them, so the first group is working while the next is being configured. You get the timeline in writing with the fixed quote, before any work starts.

Who this is for

Is Zoho Books Setup Services the right fit for you?

Zoho Books Setup Services suits finance teams that want GCT-ready books and dinar-and-dollar working without an on-premise ledger. If that is you, the licence usually pays for itself inside the first quarter. We will say so on the discovery call if it will not.

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.
