ViaWest Secures Tax Savings for Clients Through Nevada’s New Data Center Abatement Program

ViaWest has been approved for the newly launched State of Nevada
Data Center Abatement program, securing a partial abatement from
personal property tax and sales and use tax for clients leveraging
the company’s Nevada data centers. Clients’ purchases of machinery
or equipment dating back to July 2016 may be eligible for an
abatement up to 75 percent for personal property and reduction of
sales tax to 2 percent.
“The tax incentives of the Data Center Abatement program in
Nevada have the potential to help cut costs dramatically for our
clients,” said Dave Leonard, chief data center officer at ViaWest.
“Consider an equipment purchase of $150,000. Companies would spend
about $12,000 in sales tax under the regular 8 percent tax rate,
whereas the abatement reduces the cost to 2 percent, or $3,000.
That’s a $9,000 savings on a fairly small buildout so larger
deployments could easily save tens of thousands of dollars in
taxes.”
With a total of 30 data centers across North America and Europe,
ViaWest offers colocation, cloud, compliance and security services
to fit clients’ unique Hybrid IT needs. Its three Nevada data
centers offer a combined 100,000+ square feet of raised floor
capacity, and a unique mix of environmental stability, security and
accessibility to businesses looking for Western colocation
services.
“We’ve implemented a variety of incentives to help make doing
business in Nevada an easy choice for qualifying companies, and the
new Data Center Abatement program is a great addition,” said
Michael Walsh from the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance. “As a
key data center provider in the state, we’re delighted to have
ViaWest on board.”
