Headquarters: Meta classifies data centers as 'pilot models' for a 1980s tax credit

Aggregator account Headquarters says Meta has been classifying huge data centers as 'pilot models' to claim a tax credit from the 1980s (the R&D credit), and that the loophole let Meta avoid nearly $4 billion in taxes last year. The $4B figure is the account's paraphrase and not verified here against the NYT text.

New reports reveal Meta has been classifying gigantic data centers as "pilot models" in order to secure a tax credit from the 1980s.

The loophole has allowed Meta to avoid paying nearly $4,000,000,000 in taxes last year alone.
