Big tech is investing millions in data centers and saving a quick tax buck while doing it—leaving some states collecting revenue loss
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The majority of U.S. states offer tax incentives aimed at encouraging the development of data centers. These programs reduce equipment expenses for major technology companies making large investments. However, the practice also results in reduced revenue collection for local governments.
WHY IT MATTERS
This trend highlights the ongoing trade-off state governments face between attracting major technological infrastructure investments and preserving their own tax revenues.
36 out of the 50 states in the country employ tax incentives for data center development, allowing the projects to save on equipment costs.
