  • State Tax Breaks for Data Centers Come Under Fire With AI Boom

    State Tax Breaks for Data Centers Come Under Fire With AI Boom
    Feb 11 2026
    Data centers have emerged as a major political target in state capitals as they proliferate across the country and elected officials hear complaints from their voters about the massive, energy-guzzling warehouses. That has put tax breaks for data centers—which can amount to hundreds of millions of dollars annually in some states—squarely in the legislative cross hairs. State lawmakers in more than a dozen states have introduced legislation to repeal sales tax exemptions or raise the bar to qualify for them. Support for rolling back incentives cuts across party lines, with Republicans and Democrats expressing opposition to subsidizing a rapidly growing industry. But the industry's boosters also cross party lines, and two Republican governors have vetoed attempts in previous years to repeal the tax breaks. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax reporter Daniel Moore discusses how these tax exemptions work, why they've grown so much, and how they could change this year.

  • US Audit Board Awaits Latest Shake-Up With New Slate of Leaders

    US Audit Board Awaits Latest Shake-Up With New Slate of Leaders
    Feb 4 2026
    A new slate of leaders is poised to make its mark on the US audit board and launch the next chapter for the embattled regulator. Among those set to serve on the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board are two administration officials who have held key roles at federal agencies targeted by a White House campaign to hobble federal agencies and derail regulations. Those agencies include the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the National Credit Union Administration. The PCAOB last year was also caught up in the administration’s efforts to rein in the federal bureaucracy. Republican lawmakers attempted to sunset the board and hand its duties over to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which oversees the board and named the new leaders. On this episode of Talking Tax, Senior Reporter Amanda Iacone discusses the incoming board members and what this latest leadership shake-up means for the future of the independent audit regulator.

  • Fiscal Stress Permeates Government Accounting Rule Writer's Work

    Fiscal Stress Permeates Government Accounting Rule Writer's Work
    Jan 29 2026
    Trump administration cuts to federal funding are trickling down to cities and states across the country—and a top public-sector accounting leader is taking note. Governmental Accounting Standards Board Chair Joel Black is leading his team in crafting public sector financial reporting rules at a time when local governments are assessing resource constraints following cuts to funding resulting from the 2025 GOP tax law. The board establishes financial reporting and accounting rules for state and local governments that follow generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Municipal bond insurers, taxpayer groups, and research institutes are among those that use government financial reports to analyze fiscal health. The board's work during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic informs its efforts now during another period of strain for governments. "It really honed us in to be sure we're working on only those things that are significant improvements, only those things our stakeholders are really asking us to work on," Black said. Black's board is currently undertaking a project that aims to improve financial reporting rules for governments grappling with fears they won't be able to meet their financial obligations. In this week's Talking Tax, Black sat down with Bloomberg Tax reporter Jorja Siemons to discuss GASB's financial stress-related project and the resource challenges accounting teams are facing.
