New CCH® IntelliConnect Browser Search transforms the research experience
This month, Wolters Kluwer proudly introduced the new CCH IntelliConnect Browser Search, a first-of-its-kind research tool that allows IntelliConnect® users to “google” CCH expertise.
Users of CCH tax content can now access CCH’s authoritative analysis and insight when searching Google, so finding answers is as simple as one and done.
This new tool instantly sends search queries through Wolters Kluwer/CCH subscriber content and displays the IntelliConnect answers directly on the results page of popular search engines such as Google®, Bing® or Yahoo!®— simplifying user workflow and combining the ease of an internet search with leading tax content.
Wolters Kluwer/CCH is the first tax research provider to leverage the power of popular search engines to enhance the search experience.
Important Note: The new CCH® IntelliConnect Browser Search tool is complimentary for IntelliConnect users; however, versions and compatibility may vary. Law firm customers and users may have received notification with download links from the Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting Division that are not compatible with their current subscription. To ensure proper access, please contact your Wolters Kluwer Law & Business Account Representative and Tax Product Specialist or call 1-888-562-5551 for more information.

Since its first edition, the International Securities Law Handbook has met the need for a user-friendly source of information covering the most significant jurisdictions.

It’s an invaluable reference that presents the key elements of securities law and regulations in 39 jurisdictions.

New book: Proportionality and Fair Taxation
This new title focusses on case law in a number of domestic and international jurisdictions, and clearly shows how to draw upon these principles to achieve fairness and efficiency in any tax policy or tax dispute.
Case law is the author’s chosen means of investigation because cases alleging discrimination or unfairness are remarkable illustrations of how reasonableness and proportionality work in tandem as tools to assess the fairness and consistency of rules. Jurisprudence from national jurisdictions (such as the U.S. Supreme Court), the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Justice, and the World Trade Organization are examined to reveal how the fundamental principles are applied to specific claims in tax matters.
