Background

About Mark Routen

As a Chartered Tax Adviser with over three decades of international experience, I help globally mobile professionals and families navigate the complex world of cross-border taxation. As Head of Tax at Forth Capital, I work closely with our international financial planning teams to provide clients with clarity, structure, and confidence, ensuring their financial affairs remain compliant and optimised wherever life takes them. Over the years, I’ve advised clients across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, helping them plan effectively for relocations, retirement transitions, and intergenerational wealth transfers. My focus is simple: to make international tax understandable, actionable, and strategic. Whether you’re relocating, retiring, or investing internationally, the right planning can protect more of what you’ve worked hard to build. I regularly share updates and perspectives on cross-border taxation and international financial planning to help globally mobile professionals stay informed and prepared.
