In Benin, social security deductions made by employees are typically deductible as part of the taxable income calculation. This means that the portion of an employee's salary contributed towards social security is subtracted from their gross income before calculating the income tax. This practice reduces the taxable base, potentially lowering the individual's overall tax liability. Employers' contributions to social security on behalf of their employees may also be treated as business expenses, although the specifics may vary. This deductibility provides individuals with tax benefits and encourages participation in the social security system.

  • Pension Benefits: A portion of the contributions goes towards providing retirement pensions to employees, ensuring financial support during their retirement years.
  • Healthcare: CNSS contributions also cover healthcare expenses, including medical services and hospitalization, offering employees access to necessary medical care.
  • Family Benefits: Some contributions are allocated to family benefits, supporting employees with families through financial assistance for child care and family welfare.
• Occupational Risk Insurance: Contributions also fund occupational risk insurance, providing coverage for work-related injuries and illnesses. This includes medical treatment, disability pensions, and compensation for affected employees.

Employer and Employee Contributions:

• Both employers and employees make contributions to CNSS, with each party responsible for specific portions of the contributions. This dual contribution system ensures that the burden of funding social security is shared between employers and employees.
