The swearing-in of the reappointed members of the Income Tax Appeals Board has been successfully concluded at Government House, Antigua and Barbuda, in accordance with Section 60(1) of the Income Tax Act, Cap 212.
Earlier this week, three members of the Board, Chairman Laurie Freeland, Francine Albertine and Beulah Buckley were officially sworn in by Governor General’s Deputy Sir Clare Roberts KCN, KC, during a brief but meaningful ceremony held at Government House.
The final member, Denise Armstrong, was sworn in on Thursday, completing the reappointment process. All four members are returning to serve another term on the Board.
Notably, Maureen Hyman continues to serve as a member of the Board, with her current tenure still valid. No swearing-in was required in her case.
Beulah Buckley will continue in her role as Secretary to the Board.
In his remarks, Sir Clare underscored the importance of the Board in safeguarding the principles of fairness, transparency, and justice in the tax system. “Your appointments reflect the trust placed in your integrity, impartiality, and commitment to public service,” he noted.
The Office of the Governor General extends congratulations to all members and wishes them every success as they carry out their responsibilities on this important body.
