In the finance law for the year 2025, the Beninese government put in place fiscal measures aimed at supporting the development of gas infrastructure and encouraging the use of domestic gas. Article 7 of this law mentions tax exemptions and reductions for Gas. It’s actually a series of incentives. We particularly note an exemption for gas containers and accessories. Consumers benefit from a exemption from duties and taxes on gas containers, whether cast iron, iron or steel. This also includes liquefied (bottled gas) for individuals and businesses.
Still according to this Finance Law, accessories such as burners, supports for 3 to 6 kg bottles, pipes, fittings, regulators, gas heaters for ovens and pressure regulator valves are exempt from taxes. This exemption aims to encourage the adoption of gas at home, in imports, local manufacturing or sales. These measures apply from January 1 to December 31, 2025, during which imports, manufacturing, and sales of this equipment will benefit from exemptions on customs duties, VAT, and other applicable taxes..
