Practitioner's Collections

These are special collections for the non-specialist: tax generalists, sole practitioners and in-house financial officers. The key to these collections is flexibility – you are able to build the information bundle that best suits your needs, at a price that best fits your budget. These Collections differ from the CCH Tax Libraries because instead of having Dominion Tax Cases (DTC) from 1920 to present, they have DTC Digests, covering cases from 1972 to the present, with “headnotes” or summaries of each case for those years. Also, some infobases are updated less frequently.
