Netflix, ADP and GoDaddy are battling the Arizona Department of Revenue over their alleged improper taxation of digital goods.

The lawsuits come as the Arizona State Senate attempts to pass Senate Bill 1460, which would give tax-paying businesses clarity on which kinds of digital goods are taxed and which are not.

There’s nothing quite like the bipartisan schadenfreude experienced when the hubris of politicians leads to a failed business incentive deal. The Wisconsin-based Foxconn project and Amazon HQ2 in New York are dead for very different reasons. Foxconn, which once promised 13,000 jobs at a mega-plant in exchange for $4 billion in subsidies, has Trump and Scott Walker detractors snickering alongside anti-subsidy conservatives. They’re not laughing in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed a lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) to stop Arizona State University (ASU) from entering into land deals that allow commercial developments to benefit from educational institutions’ property tax exemption.

Arizona State University-owned land may be the target of a lawsuit over diversion of property taxes, but its massive real estate development designed to fund ASU’s athletics facilities is progressing forward unscathed.

Overall, the Novus corridor just east of Phoenix has nearly $1 billion worth of projects in the works, making it the largest single concentration of construction in the state, possibly in the Southwest, said Charley Freericks, senior vice president of Catellus, the project’s master developer.

Attorney General Mark Brnovich sued the Arizona Board of Regents on Thursday, targeting ASU's practice of leasing tax-exempt public land to private businesses.

Brnovich filed the lawsuit on Thursday morning in Arizona Tax Court, claiming that the real estate deals and the tax breaks they provide are illegal.

The Arizona attorney general has launched another battle against the state's public universities, this time over large Arizona State University real estate projects that he says are illegal.

Attorney General Mark Brnovich sued the Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees the state's universities, in Arizona Tax Court Thursday.

He claims real estate deals approved by the board allow universities to boost favored companies and help them avoid paying taxes. ASU is essentially renting out its tax-exempt status to private businesses, Brnovich said.
