Summary of Benefits
Every year, American business owners reinvest billions of dollars into their businesses in the form of physical structures, renovations, and build-outs.
In today's dynamic business environment, where innovation and staying ahead are paramount, the intricacies of the US tax code may sometimes seem more like an obstacle than the valuable tools they should be. Consequently, failing to segregate build costs and allowing assets to depreciate under the default time frames can result in missed opportunities for optimizing tax benefits and may lead to higher tax burdens in the long run.
With Cost Segregation, your business can break up its slower-depreciating projects into their individual asset components, unlocking tax advantages and mitigating long-term tax burdens. Rewarding you for your investment faster.
History
Cost segregation originated with the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and gained prominence in the late 1990s. Legal precedents solidified its methodology, making it a valuable tool for accelerating depreciation deductions.
IRS guidelines and the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 expanded its scope. Additionally, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 brought further changes to depreciation rules, influencing the way cost segregation is utilized. Today, cost segregation remains crucial for optimizing cash flow and reducing tax liabilities in the ever-changing tax landscape.
