The General Directorate of Taxes (DGI) is set to extend its e-services platform to partner taxpayers of the Small Business Tax Centers (CIPE) in Parakou, Comè and Lokossa, rolling out in phases from 21 September 2026.

The move also aims to enable online acquisition of tax documents, including payment receipts and tax compliance certificates. The DGI plans outreach and training sessions to help affected taxpayers navigate the platform.

This expansion covers partner taxpayers under these three CIPEs and broadens access to digital tax services already offered by the administration.

Three key dates for the rollout

The schedule sets three milestones: 21 September in Parakou, 28 September in Comè, and 5 October in Lokossa. At each date, the taxpayers concerned will be able to access online services through the DGI’s 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 down on trips to physical counters and reduce the administrative burden of these formalities.

This extension is part of the gradual digitalization 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.
