Wolters Kluwer announced on Friday, October 30, that it had agreed to sell its German consumer tax business Steuertipps to Buhl Data Service for EUR 40 million. The transaction marks a sharper focus on professional markets in Tax & Accounting, according to the company's announcement.

Steuertipps is expected to generate gross revenue of EUR 30 million in 2026 on an unaudited basis. Wolters Kluwer said the transaction should close within the next few days and that the divestment supports its focus on professional customers, where it sees stronger opportunities for synergies, long-term growth and returns.

Software push broadens growth platform

During the week, Wolters Kluwer also advanced its software strategy in Tax & Accounting. The group launched agentic tax return preparation in CCH Axcess Tax, where AI-supported workflows prepare and calculate Form 1040 returns and flag exceptions for professional review.

The company also announced a partnership with Inscope to bring agentic financial statement preparation into CCH Axcess. The Business Wire release says the capability is designed to help accounting firms draft, review and finalize financial statements while retaining professional judgment and final sign-off.
