معرفی
Carlene Wynter is a Lecturer in Accounting and Finance at Aston Business School, College of Business and Social Sciences, Aston University, and an Associate Research Fellow at the Tax Administration Research Centre (TARC). Her research centers on taxation systems with a focus on Jamaican contexts, examining property tax reforms, fiscal decentralization, and cultural dimensions of tax compliance.
Her academic credentials include a PhD in Taxation from the University of Exeter (2015), Postgraduate Certificate in Education from Aston University (2016), MSc in Accounting and Taxation from the University of Hartford (2009), MSc in Accounting from the University of the West Indies (1999), and BSc in Management Studies (Hons) from the University of the West Indies (1994). She is also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the State of Georgia (2002).
Dr. Wynter's research integrates accounting, political science, and cultural studies to analyze tax systems in developing economies. She investigates how historical contexts like colonial tax policies influence contemporary tax morale, and how cultural narratives such as Anancy folklore shape tax enforcement approaches in Jamaica. Her work consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with practical policy implications for local governance.
Analysis of her publications reveals a sustained focus on Jamaica's tax administration challenges, with increasing attention to interdisciplinary connections between taxation, social housing, and decolonization. Recent works examine empathy in tax enforcement and fiscal decentralization barriers, while earlier research established foundations in property tax administration and colonial tax history.

As an Associate Research Fellow at TARC, she contributes to global tax administration research with regional expertise in Caribbean systems, particularly advancing understanding of how cultural contexts shape tax policy implementation in post-colonial societies.
