Texas Giving Data Centers Over A $1 Billion In Yearly Tax Breaks
from Philip Teresi · host KMJ
Texas is losing over $1 billion annually in sales tax revenue due to exemptions on data-center equipment purchases—with losses projected to reach $3.2 billion over two years. State Sen. Joan Huffman warns the program is “unsustainable” as construction booms, especially with AI-driven demand. Lawmakers are considering limiting or repealing the break as the state weighs the true cost of fueling digital infrastructure.
