As a commercial property owner, how would you like to receive cash flow from tax savings of t-10% of your building cost within the first five years of ownership? That's $70K-$100K for each $1M in building costs! Cost Segregation is the answer.

Cost Segregation is an IRS-approved application by which commercial property owners can accelerate depreciation and reduce the amount of taxes owed. This savings generates cash flow that owners often use to reinvest in the business, purchase more property, apply to their principle payment or spend on themselves.

It's simple, legal and recommended in the August, 2004 issue of the Journal of Accountancy for CPA's. The article stated, "A taxpayer can substantially increase cash flow by segregating property costs."

How Does Cost Segregation Work?

An independent third party like Cost Segregation Services, Inc. (CSSI) performs an engineered cost segregation study on your commercial property. The study accelerates the depreciation of your building/renovation components into faster depreciation categories such as five-, seven- and 15-year rather than conventional 27.5- and 39.5-year schedules. Five- and seven-year items might include decorative building elements, electrical for dedicated computer equipment, and carpet. Fifteen-year items might include site utilities, landscaping and paving.

This engineered cost segregation study results in much higher depreciation expense and significantly reduced taxable income for the property owner. Best of all, the IRS ruling states cost segregation can be applied to all categories of buildings purchased or built since 1986, including renovations, and there is no need to amend your tax returns.

For years, CSSI has been delivering quality, affordable, engineer-based cost segregation studies to a wide range of individuals and businesses. Our team of experts can help easily apply the results to your current financials with your CPA or financial professional to assure successful results.
