The Office of the Deputy Governor of the Turks and Caicos Islands is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Roxandra Higgs as a Senior Tax Officer in the Inland Revenue Department within the Ministry of Finance, Investment and Trade.

Higgs holds a Bachelor of Business Administration with a Minor in Accounting from Nova Southeastern University, where she was recognized on the Dean’s List. 

Her academic excellence was established early as the Valedictorian of both Raymond Gardiner High School and the Turks and Caicos Islands Community College. Currently, she continues to sharpen her technical proficiency through the VITARA Audit training programs.

Before transitioning to tax administration, Ms. Higgs dedicated 13 years to the education sector as a teacher of Office Administration and Electronic Document Preparation and Management at the Clement Howell High School. 

Driven by a desire to support national development, she maintained an impressive 98% student pass rate and successfully guided the country’s first cohort to achieve CVQ General Office – Level 1 certification. In 2022, she joined the Inland Revenue Department to apply her accounting expertise, where she has since gained extensive experience in audit processes, taxpayer communication and compliance initiatives.

Congratulations on your well-deserved promotion, Ms. Higgs.
