Germany's cabinet approves tax shift channelling data centre revenue to host towns
Germany's cabinet approved the government draft of the Einkommensteuerreformgesetz 2027 on 2 September, adding a Gewerbesteuer rule for data centres: 90 percent of the levy will follow electrical connection capacity rather than wages, redirecting revenue to host municipalities.
What it does not test. This does not establish that any data centre operator relocated, expanded or changed ownership, nor that the Bundestag has passed the law.
How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. Cabinet draft shifts local tax revenue only; no data centre ownership, operation, law or parts change.European Sovereignty Index
