Meta Platforms Inc. saved $2 billion in taxes in 2024 and $3.9 billion in 2025 by declaring its artificial intelligence data centers as "pilot models," the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter. The tech giant allegedly used the United States Research & Experimentation Tax Credit, which was introduced in 1981 to support innovation and domestic competitiveness.
The report also cited Meta's filings acknowledging that the tax savings could be overturned by the US Internal Revenue Service, mainly due to "uncertainties with our research tax credits." The company did not respond when asked by the newspaper to explain "what made its AI data centers experimental."
