The Data Center Bill
Idaho bill tweaks tax breaks for data center gear
Amends existing law to revise a sales tax exemption for data center equipment and to revise a property tax exemption for certain capital investments.
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would change the sales tax break on data center equipment and the property tax break on certain capital investments, lowering taxes for those businesses.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could see less tax revenue for public services while data center owners pay less, so the bill helps the industry at the expense of everyday taxpayers.
