Cost Segregation
Accelerate Depreciation and Reduce Your Tax Burden
What is Cost Segregation?
Cost segregation is an engineering-based tax strategy that accelerates depreciation by reclassifying qualifying building components into shorter recovery periods. The result is increased short-term depreciation deductions, improved cash flow, and reduced tax liability.
