QuickBooks Online suits most SMEs that want browser access, several users and ongoing product updates. Desktop UK licences remain limited; Intuit has discontinued official Desktop UK support, so Online is usually the safer long-term choice. The Site Weavers supplies genuine licences from Dar es Salaam, with Online prices shown as monthly equivalents billed annually.
When Online is the better fit
Choose Online when owners, accountants or branch staff need to work from different locations and you want product updates without local installs. A shop in Mwanza and an accountant in Dar es Salaam can share the same company file in a browser. Phone access helps owner-managers who approve bills between site visits. Site Weavers shows monthly-equivalent prices and bills annually in Tanzanian shillings so cashflow is predictable.
| Online plan | Published monthly equivalent | Billing |
|---|---|---|
| Simple Start | TZS 75,000 | Billed annually |
| Essentials | TZS 100,000 | Billed annually |
| Plus | TZS 150,000 | Billed annually |
| Advanced | TZS 260,000 | Billed annually |
When Desktop may still appear
Some teams already run Desktop workflows. We can help with limited genuine Desktop UK licence purchase, but product usage support is not included and official Intuit Desktop UK support has ended. Treat Desktop as a constrained option, not the default for a new Tanzanian SME.
- Confirm whether Online can replace the workflow first
- Treat Desktop as limited stock, not an open catalogue
- Plan backups and local IT responsibility carefully
TRA, VAT and EFD
QuickBooks can record sales, expenses and tax codes, but Tanzania Revenue Authority rules and EFD requirements are specific. We do not claim that a licence by itself satisfies TRA. Confirm the setup with your accountant. Our role is genuine licensing, local billing and getting you started.
How we supply licences
Purchasing from an overseas checkout with a foreign card often fails or creates currency surprises. We supply genuine QuickBooks Online subscriptions from Dar es Salaam so you have one local contact for purchase, renewal and licence questions. Compare packages on the QuickBooks page, then send an enquiry with your user count.
- Match users and features to Simple Start, Essentials, Plus or Advanced.
- Order through Site Weavers with annual billing in TZS.
- Set up the company file with your accountant’s tax codes.
- Ask for a getting-started session if your team is new to the product.
Common mistakes
Buying Desktop because it feels familiar, then discovering support has ended. Paying a random online seller for a dubious licence. Skipping the conversation with your accountant about VAT. Choosing Advanced for a two-person business, or Simple Start for a team that already needs more users.
