2021 SPECIAL SESSION I
SB 1423 Data centers; sales and use tax exemption, clarifies "distressed locality," report.
Introduced by: Jeremy S. McPike | Todd E. Pillion | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Sales and use tax exemption for data centers. Reduces the job creation requirement to qualify for the sales and use tax exemption for data centers in a distressed locality from 25 to 10 jobs and reduces the required capital investment from $150 million to $70 million for such data centers. The bill also redefines what criteria are used to identify a distressed locality; under the bill, a locality qualifies as distressed if it has an unemployment rate that is greater than the statewide unemployment rate and a poverty rate that exceeds the statewide poverty rate. The bill requires all data centers claiming the exemption to report certain information to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership Authority (the Authority) and the Department of Taxation, in collaboration with the Authority, to aggregate and publish such information biennially. This bill is identical to HB 2273.
