Tax breaks have a value, some might even say a cost.

It's a cost optimizations exercise. Why give you tax breaks when I can get the same thing for free?

Not "a tax dodge", but "following the tax incentives".

Do companies get a tax break for something like this?

The headline says subsidy, the article says tax break. Which one is it?

Curious: why would a deal like that have tax incentives?

This is the kind of stuff companies should get tax breaks for.

You might want to check out the concept of a Tax Expenditure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_expenditure, which is when a government lowers tax on something.

As opposed to tax breaks? Sure, why not.
