Ohio Axes Data Center Tax Break After Billion-Dollar Forecasting Error
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has paused a tax break for data centers after a significant forecasting error. The state initially estimated a $136 million loss in tax revenue for 2025, but the actual figure was around $1.5 billion. Lawmakers are now investigating the error and its implications for the rapidly growing data center industry in Ohio.
- ▪The Ohio Department of Taxation's forecast was off by over $1 billion.
- ▪Ohio has more than 200 data center locations, making it a competitive hub for the industry.
- ▪Lawmakers from both parties expressed concern over the accuracy of the tax revenue predictions.
