Riverwoods, ILL. (September 3, 2012) - Global tax authority Wolters Kluwer Tax &
Accounting today announced it has acquired the assets of BSI, a leading provider
of timely international tax, legal, business and investment information. The
acquisition further advances Wolters Kluwer's portfolio of premier international
information supporting its continued expansion of global tax offerings in the
growing corporate market. Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting is a global leading
provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services.
BSI will become part of CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business. As part of Wolters
Kluwer Tax & Accounting, CCH offers tax and accounting professionals in
corporations around the world market-leading solutions to help them be more
accurate, productive and profitable.
The acquisition secures Wolters Kluwer's international content leadership, with
BSI's comprehensive portfolio of online news, analysis and expertise. BSI's
highly skilled professionals provide tax expertise in more than 114 countries,
enabling real-time updates based on new developments, and immediate answers to
global queries from professionals. More than 60,000 users rely on BSI's network
of web sites, monitoring the latest international tax developments and updates
for timely, authoritative and specific international content in countries
worldwide.
"Keeping current with complex and changing tax law is a challenge faced by
professionals today across the globe, and with the addition of BSI's premier
content and coverage to CCH and Wolters Kluwer, we're now uniquely able to help
our customers overcome that challenge," said Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting CEO
Kevin Robert. "The best just got better. And, we'll continue to invest in
expanding our international corporate tax solutions to help professionals around
the world."
CCH will continue to deliver BSI's services as distinct offerings under the CCH
brand name and as part of CCH Integrator(TM). CCH Integrator, launched in
February 2012, delivers CCH's award-winning software and comprehensive
international content to provide one centralized solution to streamline tax data
collection, provision, research and compliance activity.
CCH also plans to enhance current BSI offerings, creating new products and
building out integration between CCH and BSI content. BSI has been a Wolters
Kluwer business partner since 2008.
"BSI was among the first companies to provide global tax information over the
Internet in 1999, and it was a natural fit when CCH and BSI entered into a
partner relationship five years ago," said BSI Senior Manager Ashley Bell. "We
are already closely integrated into CCH's supply chain, and this acquisition
will bring exciting new opportunities for growth and innovative new solutions to
Wolters Kluwer, CCH and BSI customers."

remain in the U.K. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
