I dunno I've been in plenty of situations where a department head will literally beg me to buy things so they can reach the same budget spend as last year so their budget isn't slashed (DoD), and have seen the same situation in VC-backed startups looking to come up with tax write offs. Businesses for the most part love spending money and would rather do that than pay taxes, which is definitely a problem with corporate society these days.

No sane business wants to spend $100 to save $15-30 in taxes.

Tell that to Amazon or any FANG company that doesn't pay taxes because their clever use of writeoffs and "losses"

[sokoloff]

They're spending $100 to invest in the growth of their company, which is quite different from "love spending money" or "begging for something to buy" to reduce their taxes.
