Meta 利用 AI 数据中心税收抵免去年少缴近 40 亿美元联邦税
Meta Uses A.I. Data Centers to Avoid Billions in Federal Taxes
Meta 依据 1980 年代设立的实验性研发税收抵免政策，将采购自 Nvidia 等公司的 AI 芯片申报为实验性用途，从而获得退税。文件显示 Meta 两年前开始为数据中心申报该抵免，去年其税收账单因此减少近 40 亿美元。发帖者以美国纳税人身份评论，希望拿回这 40 亿美元。
> Under a tax credit created in the 1980s to spur innovation, companies can get a rebate for supplies, but only if they are being tested in an experimental effort, not standard business operations. Meta is claiming that the costly A.I. computer chips it buys from companies, including Nvidia, are entitled to a taxpayer-provided discount as part of the experiment. [...]
> The company started claiming the credit for the data centers two years ago. Since then, Meta’s savings from the credit have soared, trimming almost $4 billion off its tax bill last year, filings show.
Yeah... as a US citizen and taxpayer I think I'd like that $4 billion back.
