Cost Segregation Study
A Cost Segregation Study is a detailed analysis conducted by tax experts, engineers, or specialized consultants to break down and classify components of a commercial or rental property into various asset categories with different depreciation schedules. By reclassifying assets into shorter depreciation periods, property owners can accelerate tax deductions and enhance cash flow. These studies must be conducted by qualified professionals due to the complex nature of tax law, construction, and engineering principles required for accurate asset classification.
Owners can take more deductions
Cost Segregation
Cost segregation is a tax strategy that allows property owners to accelerate depreciation, thus deferring taxes and enhancing cash flow. By reclassifying parts of commercial or rental properties into shorter depreciation periods, owners can take more deductions in the early years of ownership. This doesn’t create new deductions but increases early-year tax savings, leveraging the time value of money. It’s especially beneficial for property owners, providing valuable data for tax planning during the property’s holding period.
