TIN Registration in Benin — Complete Guide

The IFU (Identifiant Fiscal Unique) is issued by the Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI) in Benin. Registration is free and typically takes Instant to 3 business days (online). Benin offers online TIN registration through the DGI portal, making the process accessible from anywhere. The TIN is governed by the Code Général des Impôts du Bénin and administered by the Ministère de l'Économie et des Finances.

All businesses operating in Benin and individuals in formal employment are required to register for a IFU. The IFU is a 13-digit numeric identifier needed for tax filing, business bank accounts, government contracts, and customs clearance. Failure to register carries penalties: fine of XOF 100,000 for individuals; XOF 500,000 for businesses.
