Cost Segregation

Individuals and companies that build, purchase, remodel or expand any kind of real estate can benefit financially from using cost segregation.

Individuals and companies that build, purchase, remodel or expand any kind of real estate can benefit financially from using cost segregation.

Because personal property can get buried in the lump-sum costs of a building purchase or construction project and end up classified as real property, a cost segregation study can unearth those assets and recover their tax value. Further, it increases cash flow by deferring taxes and typically creates tax savings of 2 to 5 percent of the total basis of the property. And while the primary benefit is present value tax savings, permanent tax reductions often occur as well.
