On January 12, 2012, Thomson Reuters announced that it had acquired Dr Tax, Canada's largest independently owned developer of income tax software for accounting firms and consumers.

The company is headquartered in, and will continue to operate from, Montreal.

Thomson Reuters will retain Dr Tax's product lines and facilities after the acquisition.
