Benin’s DGI launches online tax services in three cities from 21 september 2026

Partner taxpayers of the small business tax centres in Parakou, Comè and Lokossa will gain progressive access to the DGI e-services platform starting 21 September 2026, the tax authority has confirmed.

The move allows users to obtain tax documents online, including payment receipts and tax compliance certificates. The DGI will also organise awareness and training sessions to help taxpayers use the platform.

The extension targets partner taxpayers under these three centres and expands access to digital tax services already offered by the administration.

Three rollout dates for three cities

The schedule sets three milestones: 21 September in Parakou, 28 September in Comè and 5 October in Lokossa. On each date, the taxpayers concerned will be able to access online services via the DGI e-services platform.

Available procedures include filing obligations and payments, as well as access to certain tax certificates. The administration’s stated goal is to cut trips to physical counters and ease the administrative burden of these formalities.

This extension is part of the gradual digitalisation of tax procedures in Benin. For the partner taxpayers involved, the first operational deadline is 21 September 2026 in Parakou, followed by Comè a week later and Lokossa on 5 October.
