CCH Tax Journals Now On The Internet

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., July 21, 2002) – CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of tax and business information and software is now making eight tax-related journals available in a convenient electronic format over the Internet. The journals, written by distinguished practitioners in many fields of tax practice, cover a wide range of transactions. (To order, call CCH at 1-800-248-3248 or visit the CCH Online Store at onlinestore.cch.com)

A subscription to the Internet version of a CCH journal gives a user access to all of the issues published since 1998. The availability of journals in electronic form should prove especially attractive to law librarians and other information professionals, according to Renee Coon, marketing manager with CCH’s Federal and State Tax Group.

"Subscribing to the journals over the Internet alleviates storage problems and makes it easier to assure the ready availability of every issue to library users," Coon said. "In addition, library customers are becoming more comfortable with, and used to, electronic research and will appreciate being able to add the content of the journals to their searches."

Journals Cover Diverse Subjects

Typically, each CCH journal’s editor in chief is a distinguished practitioner such as Charles R. Levun (Journal of Passthrough Entities) or Lowell D. Yoder (Journal of Taxation of Global Transactions) and the journal has an active editorial board whose members regularly contribute their own insights in articles and regular columns. Many of these journals are the first of their kind – devoted to such increasingly important areas as tax practice and procedure, the taxation of financial products and values-based estate planning.

The following CCH journals are being made available as Internet subscriptions:
