Cost Segregation Study

TTL provides an analysis of capital expenditures to identify property assets that can shorten the depreciation time for taxation from 25+ to under 15 years, reducing current income tax obligations.

Tax Benefits of Cost Segregation
In addition to providing tax relief, cost segregation can benefit businesses in a number of ways:

Maximize tax savings by adjusting the timing of deductions
Create an audit trail
Recapture unrecognized depreciation in one year to increase cash flow in current year
Reduce real estate tax liabilities
Identify certain sales & use tax savings.

Eligibility
Real property eligible for cost segregation includes buildings that have been purchased, constructed, expanded or remodeled since 1987.

Cost Segregation Study Process
A certified public accountant and a registered professional engineer analyze architectural drawings, mechanical and electrical plans, and other blueprints to segregate the structural, electrical and mechanical components from those linked to personal property.
