I am an attorney and entrepreneur dedicated to the pursuit of personal freedom. I am a member of the Quebec and Ontario Bars, the founder of Expat Lawyer Inc., a Canadian law firm, and the lead tax advisor at One Percent Tax LLC, a U.S.-based international consulting agency. I speak English, French, and Spanish. I live in Costa Rica, having made the move myself, and I know precisely what it requires.
We help successful U.S. and Canadian entrepreneurs and investors legally reduce their taxes, protect their assets, and obtain second residences and citizenships. For some, that means relocating to a country that taxes them less, together with their eligible businesses. For others, it means restructuring what they already have, without moving at all. Our multidisciplinary team of lawyers, accountants, and bankers around the world delivers a complete, turnkey service, so you can invest your energy elsewhere.
The outcome depends on your situation. For some clients who meet certain requirements, the overall tax rate can be lowered to as little as one percent. For others, the proper strategies can still reduce tax liabilities by millions of dollars annually. As a courtesy reserved for the Tax Advisor Network, I offer clients who find me here a complimentary 30-minute consultation, time I would otherwise bill at my hourly rate ($500/hour), to determine what is possible in your situation.

Reviews for Marc
Sylvain Marsan
Marsan Transmission & Differential
After more than 30 years running my transmission shop in Quebec, my wife and I decided to move to Costa Rica. Marc built us a complete, step-by-step plan: the tax side of leaving Canada, our Costa Rican residency permits and every document to prepare before departure, the sale of the business, banking and investments, insurance, health care, estate planning, even buying a home and a car and settling into daily life once we arrive. He has made the move himself, and it shows: everything was explained in plain language and every question got a clear, direct answer. It gave us the confidence to go ahead. If you are an entrepreneur thinking about relocating, talk to Marc before you do anything else.

Working with Marc at One Percent Tax gave us a much clearer and more strategic approach to managing our business specializing in Persian and Oriental goods. Since our business involves sourcing and selling valuable works of art across international borders, our tax and business considerations go well beyond those of a typical domestic company. Marc immediately understood the complexities involved and helped us assess our operations from an international perspective. What impressed us most was Marc’s ability to take complex tax and international business issues and translate them into clear, practical strategies that were directly relevant to our company given the realities of doing business during periods of geopolitical instability, conflict, changing trade conditions, and commercial relationships across multiple jurisdictions. For entrepreneurs involved in international commerce who want to operate more efficiently, better understand their tax position, and make stronger strategic decisions without cutting corners, we highly recommend Marc for the exceptional quality and depth of his guidance.
