What this bill would do

This bill is called the Reverse Big Ugly Tax Breaks for Data Centers Act. It changes the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 regarding tax breaks for certain data centers. Specifically, the bill stops qualified data center property from getting bonus depreciation. It also ensures that covered data centers and qualified data center property are not treated as qualified opportunity zone business property. The rules apply to property placed in service or acquired in taxable years beginning after the date the act is enacted.
