The 60-second version
Benin exit needs employer IRPP certificate and DGI compliance letter. I export social security statements, close XOF account, wire to NRE.
IFU and IRPP before XOF account closure
Benin taxes residents on worldwide income — I obtain IRPP reconciliation and DGI IFU clearance.
Port and cotton trading payroll common — wire before losing local bank relationship.
