A cost segregation study on real estate can provide your company with substantial tax savings and improved cash flow. These savings can be achieved by properly classifying construction or acquisition cost between real and personal property. A cost segregation study is a comprehensive analysis that carefully breaks down the construction and/or acquisition costs of a new or renovated building and allocates components into categories that qualify for shorter depreciation periods. This study can be performed on buildings built or renovated after 1986. This accelerated depreciation allows many components that originally were depreciated over 39 years to be depreciated in only 5, 7, or 15 years. Because of our comprehensive understanding of the Internal Revenue Code, tax court cases, and relevant revenue rulings and procedures, we are able to provide full written documentation that supports these cost allocations.
