Does Tallium AI handle VAT for a Kenyan garage?

Yes. Tallium AI tags VAT on your sales and purchases and keeps organised records so preparing your VAT3 return on iTax is straightforward. VAT registration is required once your taxable turnover passes KES 5,000,000 — confirm current thresholds and rules with KRA or a local tax professional.

Can it work with KRA eTIMS e-invoicing?

Tallium AI produces clean, itemised invoices with the VAT detail and records you need for KRA's electronic invoicing regime (eTIMS). Because eTIMS integration requirements change, confirm your exact obligations with KRA or a qualified local tax professional.

Will it track spare parts and labour separately on a job?

Yes. Each job card can carry parts lines and labour lines, so you bill both accurately and see the margin on every repair. Parts used automatically reduce your live stock counts.

Can my mechanics and front desk all use it?

Every plan includes unlimited users with no per-seat fees, so you can give the counter, the bays and the office their own access at no extra cost. You control what each person can see and do with roles and permissions.

How much does Tallium AI cost for a garage?

A single garage location runs on the shop plan at $79 per month, billed monthly in US dollars and cancellable anytime. There's no free trial — you're up and running from signup, and the price includes the full core: accounting, POS, inventory, VAT handling, reports, the mobile app and AI insights.

The daily headaches we remove

Job cards and invoices live in separate books

You quote a repair on paper, order parts, then re-type everything into an invoice. Details get lost, labour hours go unbilled, and customers wait while you total it up by hand.

Spare-parts stock is a guessing game

Filters, oils, brake pads and belts move fast across mechanics and counter sales. Without live counts you double-order slow parts, run out of fast ones, and cash sits dead on the shelf.

VAT and eTIMS records are a scramble

If you're over the KES 5,000,000 turnover threshold you must charge VAT and issue KRA-compliant e-invoices through eTIMS. Reconstructing sales and input VAT at filing time from receipts and M-Pesa messages eats whole evenings.

You can't see which jobs actually make money

A busy week doesn't always mean a profitable one. When parts cost, mechanic time and discounts aren't tracked per job, you never really know whether tyres, servicing or bodywork is carrying the garage.

How Tallium AI fixes it

One job, one screen — quote to paid

Build a job card with parts and labour lines, convert it to an invoice in a tap, and take payment by cash, card or M-Pesa. Everything flows straight into your books, so nothing gets re-typed or forgotten.

Live parts inventory that updates as you sell

Every part used on a job or sold over the counter drops stock automatically. Set reorder points for fast movers, track cost vs. selling price, and see dead stock before it ties up your cash.

VAT-ready books with eTIMS-friendly invoicing

Tallium AI tags VAT on sales and purchases and keeps clean records so preparing your VAT3 return on iTax is fast. AI receipt scanning captures supplier bills for input VAT — always confirm current rules with KRA or a local tax professional.

Profit per job, per mechanic, at a glance

See margin on each repair once parts and labour are logged, and spot your most profitable service lines. AI insights flag slow-paying customers and unusual costs so you can act early.
