obrhoffIt may not be the sole reason behind the tech layoffs in the US, but it appears that Trump eliminated the immediate deduction of R&D costs from taxes, which started to come into effect in 2022.I have a mixed opinion about this law. On the one hand, it encouraged companies to keep their software development in the US. On the other hand, it appears to be a tax loophole because many companies likely pretended to conduct “R&D” just to write off the costs. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/layoffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#layoffs</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trump</a><a href="https://qz.com/tech-layoffs-tax-code-trump-section-174-microsoft-meta-1851783502" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://qz.com/tech-layoffs-tax-code-trump-section-174-microsoft-meta-1851783502</a>
