Lege Trend: Techies Want Data Security Supremacy & Tax Relief

Georgia techies are focused on tax incentives and making Georgia the Supreme Leader in Data Security. The economic incentive proposals:

• Extend Angel Investor Tax Credit
• Film Tax Credits
• “triple the qualifying period on a sales-tax exemption for companies buying more than $15 million in computer equipment, from one year to three”
  • This tax credit has made Georgia a hot spot for data centers
• Create a committee to make Georgia a leader in data and cyber security
  • Georgia is home to IBM and to U.S. military’s cyber command, which they believe make Georgia the perfect leader in data and cyber security
