Client reviews
What clients say
Selected comments from client reviews.
After more than 30 years running my transmission shop, my wife and I decided to move to Costa Rica. One Percent Tax built us a complete, step-by-step plan: the tax side of leaving Canada, our Costa Rican residency permits, the sale of the business, banking and investments, insurance, estate planning… It gave us the confidence to go ahead.
I initially approached them about an offshore holding company. They recommended what was truly the best for me, whether domestic or foreign, and I felt confident that the recommendations served my interests because there was no pressure toward a particular jurisdiction or structure.
What impressed us most was the ability to take complex tax and international business issues and translate them into clear, practical strategies that were directly relevant to our company.
What stood out was the combination of cross-border legal knowledge, tax insight, business judgment, and practical follow-through. In my experience, that combination is rare.
