This is a rather depressing graph, what happened in 2022-2024?

The tax change that causes companies to have to weirdly treat developer salaries as some sort of asset such that they can only write off 20% of it per year. Outcome of this is killer for startups and causing a huge issue everywhere.

Bottom line: If a company makes $1MM in revenue and pays $1MM in salary, they owe taxes on $800k profit. Yes, this is actually the law now.

The salaries are not an asset, they are the cost of creating the asset. They are capitalizable similar to (but on a different schedule than) costs of acquiring software that is not developed in house.
