Twitter Joins San Francisco's Tech Tax Advisory Council

San Francisco is doing everything it can to retain its status as the place to be in tech. The city has set up an ad hoc advisory council, which includes Twitter representatives, in order to evaluate how the city’s tax structure impacts big tech companies.

The advisory council was set up just a week after San Francisco approved a tax break for tech companies who move to the blighted Mid-Market area. This legislation was put in front of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors largely to keep Twitter from moving outside of the city, as it had indicated it might due in order to save money on lower taxes.
