Tax residency in Benin
An individual is considered a tax resident of Benin if they have their tax domicile in Benin, which is the case when they have in Benin their home or principal place of abode (a stay of more than 183 days during a calendar year is deemed a principal place of abode), carry on a professional activity in Benin that is not ancillary (whether salaried or independent), or have the center of their economic interests in Benin; individuals who meet none of these criteria are nonresidents, and where dual residence arises under an applicable tax treaty, residence is determined by the treaty tie‑breaker rules (typically permanent home, center of vital interests, habitual abode, then nationality, and if necessary mutual agreement).
This summary is general information, not tax or legal advice. Rules change and individual circumstances vary — confirm with a qualified adviser before making decisions.
