Code-based tax content complements federal topical material

September 27, 2007 — New York, NY, September 27, 2007 - LexisNexis, a leading global provider of information and services solutions, today announced its third major tax product release, LexisNexis® Tax Advisor—Federal Code offering more exclusive content from multiple publishers than what’s currently available to the corporate tax and accounting market.

Launched on the heels of LexisNexis® Tax Advisor—Federal Topical, this newest release on the award-winning Tax Center platform integrates interpretive information and the relevant section of the Internal Revenue Code. LexisNexis Tax Center allows tax professionals to streamline research by providing the widest array of publishers on one easily navigable interface. No other online tax research product in the market offers the breadth of leading tax publishers found on Tax Center.

Since April 2006 when Tax Center first launched, LexisNexis has invited tax experts to contribute to and greatly augment the Tax Center collection of treatises, case law, regulations, rulings and opinions already available at state, federal and international levels on Tax Center. The award-winning platform features proven strategies and practical insights from leading authorities in the field.  This further positions Tax Center as the predominant research platform featuring expertise from outside sources rather than in-house editors.

In 2006, LexisNexis listened to tax professionals and launched LexisNexis Tax Center.This latest release demonstrates our commitment to deliver the most authoritative content available to the broadest spectrum of tax professionals on one proven platform,” said Charles Ter Bush, Vice President and Managing Director, Tax and Accounting at LexisNexis.“Our ultimate focus is to help streamline productivity with a trusted research solution. What LexisNexis brings is a proven track record in legal publishing, supported by Matthew Bender® that is the backbone for our strength in tax.”

Tax Advisor—Federal Code is an important link for users of Tax Center in that it organizes federal tax content from a code perspective, useful when practitioners already know the specific IRC sections they want to research. Tax Advisor—Federal Code offers access to 1500+ Internal Revenue Code sections complemented by 6,500+ total explanations.
