Four US states have rolled back or paused data center tax incentives, with nine others considering repeal measures. This could lead to a 7% or more increase in equipment costs. The changes are happening in states that previously welcomed data centers with sales tax breaks.

According to The Information, governors and legislatures in these states are reevaluating their incentives. The potential repeal of these incentives may impact the data center industry.

The development may affect companies planning to set up or expand data centers in these states. No further details are available on the specific states involved or the timeline for the changes.
