Cost Segregation
Boost Your Bottom-Line
Cost segregation studies can lower your current-year tax liability and free up more capital.
Making an investment in your organization by purchasing, constructing or upgrading property, can be a valuable tax strategy. A cost segregation study separates real property into various depreciable categories, and allows taxpayers to depreciate property over much shorter periods of time than the typical 39-year (or 27.5-year) period. By taking deductions sooner, you lower your current-year tax liability and free up more capital.
The Benefits of a Cost Segregation Study Include
An average return on investment of 54:1
Substantial accelerated tax deductions
Increased cash flow
Special depreciation allowances (i.e., Section 179 or bonus depreciation)
