Will Sweden’s 6,000% hike be the nail in the coffin for the local crypto mining industry? egreechee reports

, Sweden enacted a 98% tax cut for data centers, looking to attract businesses. Four years later, the industry hasn't created the jobs the country was hoping for, and the macroeconomic environment has changed, said the budget report.

The energy crisis has increased electricity rates for households, and the tax cuts currently in place might actually be taking away energy from other, more job-creating industries in the manufacturing sector, said the budget. Miners are disappointed by how the tax hike was rolled out, with what seemed like little notice or communication. Firms like

as a “stable” jurisdiction, where they don’t worry about abrupt unilateral changes in the regulatory regime., has protested the measure’s abruptness, particularly given that the government had commissioned a report on the energy impact of data centers that wasn’t finished at the time of the tax hike decision, according to the budget.
