The usual way that we start troubleshooting problems like this is to look in the javascript console to see if there are any obvious error messages.
Assuming there is nothing obviously wrong, the next thing we check is that the load rules are correct and that the tag is supposed to be firing. This is often the cause for this kind of live/qa site difference - a load rule being set to a specific live-site URL, for example.
Next it's a matter of looking in either the network tab of developer tools, or the sources tab (if you are using Chrome) to see if that particular tag is being loaded.
If you would like us to take a look, please feel free to send an email through to support-emea@tealium.com with the details.
Many thanks
