Crypto tax in Benin

Crypto in Benin is unclear / unsettled.

Benin has no crypto-specific rules and only a general tax code, so as a relocating individual you should assume crypto gains may be taxed under ordinary income/capital gains principles but there is no clear official treatment or holding-period exemption published by the tax authority.

“Benin's tax regime for cryptocurrencies is still in its early stages of development, with no specific laws or regulations explicitly addressing the taxation of digital assets. However, the country's tax authorities have issued guidance indicating that cryptocurrencies are generally treated as intangible assets for tax purposes. The taxation of cryptocurrencies in Benin is primarily governed by the General Tax Code (Code Général des Impôts).” — Benin General Tax Code (reported secondary source)
