Meta通过将AI数据中心归类为实验性设施，申报数十亿美元联邦研发税收抵免。
据四位知情人士透露，Meta Platforms正积极利用一项联邦研究和实验税收抵免，就其人工智能数据中心申报数十亿美元的扣除额。
Meta Claims Billions in Federal R&D Tax Credits by Classifying AI Data Centers as Experimental Meta Platforms is aggressively leveraging a federal research and experimentation tax credit to claim billions of dollars in deductions on its artificial intelligence data centers, according to four people familiar with the company's operations.
为了符合1980年代税收条款下的退税资格，Meta将其数十亿美元的设施归类为“试点模型”，并冲销昂贵的硬件供应，包括从英伟达购买的人工智能芯片。
To qualify for the rebate under the 1980s tax provision, Meta classifies its multibillion-dollar facilities as "pilot models" and writes off expensive hardware supplies, including artificial intelligence chips purchased from Nvidia.
尽管首席执行官马克·扎克伯格公开宣称AI基础设施是一项成熟的商业成功，但Meta在监管证券文件中指出，由于研究税收抵免存在不确定性，数十亿美元的税收节省仍面临美国国税局（IRS）挑战的风险。
While Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg publicly touts AI infrastructure as an established commercial success, Meta notes in regulatory securities filings that billions in tax savings remain vulnerable to Internal Revenue Service challenges due to uncertainties surrounding research tax credits.
