What are the benefits of cost segregation?

What are the benefits of a cost segregation study?

Cost segregation is a strategic tax savings tool that allows companies and individuals who have constructed, purchased, expanded, or remodeled any kind of real estate to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation deductions and deferring federal and state income taxes.

In general, it is easy to identify furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) that depreciates over 5 or 7 years for tax purposes. However, a cost segregation study goes far beyond that by dissecting construction costs typically depreciated over 27.5 or 39 years. The primary goal of a cost segregation study is to identify all construction-related costs that can be depreciated over 5, 7 and 15 years. For example, 20% to 50% of the total electrical costs in most buildings can qualify as personal property (depreciated over 5 or 7 years). Reducing tax lives resulting in accelerated depreciation deductions, a reduced tax liability, and increased cash flow.

Commonly asked questions about Cost Segregation

Cost segregation can seem confusing at times and is still, after over 20 years of being an accepted practice and at times even preferred by the IRS, a relatively unknown procedure to most commercial property owners and even some CPA's. Below are some commonly asked questions and answers to help you gain a better understanding of how a National Asset Partners cost segregation study can benefit you.


Q. How is depreciation impacted under the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) system?

Generally, for improvements placed in service after 1998, personal property identified in a cost segregation study will require depreciation to be calculated using a 150% declining balance method as opposed to the 200% declining balance method. Although the acceleration of depreciation is slower under the 150% declining balance, the benefits of a cost segregation study are not impacted significantly since the recovery periods remain the same. For improvements placed in service before 1998, the calculations are more complex and benefits from a cost segregation study are likely to be somewhat lower than originally anticipated.
