Marçais Avocats

About Marçais Avocats

Set up by Isabelle Marçais after more than ten years in large Paris advisory law firms, this tax law practice in the 8th arrondissement advises companies, directors, entrepreneurs, private clients and associations, and can work in French or English. It handles company creation itself: it determines the most suitable legal form and tax and social status, drafts personalised articles of association, completes the registration formalities and provides ongoing corporate secretarial work and tax filings. A dedicated page addresses employees, executives and entrepreneurs who come to work in France and need to assess the impatriate tax regime, and the practice also covers the tax status, wealth tax and filing obligations of non-residents with income or property in France. Business tax work spans corporate tax, VAT, local business taxes and research tax credit, alongside wealth structuring, business transfers, exit tax and defence in tax audits and litigation.
