What Is Cost Segregation?

Cost Segregation is an application by which commercial property owners can accelerate depreciation and reduce the amount of taxes owed.

 A cost segregation study is a federal income tax tool that increases your near-term cash flow in the form of a tax deferral. In a study, the parts of your building that qualify for shorter recovery periods are identified, quantified, and classified to produce additional depreciation deductions which reduce the amount of taxes owed.

Commercial building and income property owners have used cost segregation studies for years. These studies have resulted in advantageous depreciation deductions for taxpayers and have become a common method of depreciation.

At CSSI®, we provide cost segregation services to commercial property owners so they can significantly increase their cash flow.
