Cost Segregation

Cost Segregation Services That Unlock Faster Tax Savings

When you acquire a building or take on a construction, remodeling, or expansion project, you want to negotiate the best deal possible. But did you know that you probably have significant tax-saving opportunities hidden in your construction or purchase costs?

What Is a Cost Segregation Study?

Through a cost segregation study, KSM’s specialists can help you identify costs in your project that may qualify for accelerated depreciation – so you can capture savings sooner and reinvest them where they matter most.

Tax laws generally allow depreciation of certain kinds of property at a rate faster than that allowed for buildings. These can include items such as landscaping, parking lots, furnishings, floor and wall coverings, and business process-related components. With a shorter asset life and depreciation period, current depreciation deductions are increased, thereby lowering your current tax liability and increasing your current tax savings.
