2024年,即2015年结束技术税减免几年之后,华盛顿州在2024年免除了亚马逊和微软的1 880万美元的递延税。 Washington state waived $18.8 million in deferred taxes for Amazon and Microsoft in 2024, years after ending tech tax breaks in 2015.

1994年至2015年,华盛顿州向亚马逊、微软和谷歌等技术公司提供了近10亿美元的税收减免,提供销售税递延和关键行业研发信贷。 Washington state provided nearly $1 billion in tax breaks from 1994 to 2015 to tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, offering sales tax deferrals and R&D credits in key industries. 到2025年1月,参与者节省了超过4.46亿美元的商业税和6.15亿美元的销售税,亚马逊和微软获得主要好处。 By January 2025, participants saved over $446 million in business taxes and $615 million in sales taxes, with Amazon and Microsoft receiving major benefits. 这些方案于2015年到期,但2024年免除了递延税,其中亚马逊1 390万美元,微软490万美元。 The programs expired in 2015, but deferred taxes were waived in 2024, including $13.9 million for Amazon and $4.9 million for Microsoft. 虽然国家旨在刺激创新和高工资工作,但长期经济回报仍不明朗,而且该方案对公共财政的成本仍在辩论之中。 While the state aimed to spur innovation and high-wage jobs, long-term economic returns remain unclear, and the program’s cost to public finances continues to be debated.
