Buffalo property owners can save on their tax bill with a cost segregation study. If you are a commercial real estate investor in Buffalo, you may not know the benefits of performing this study to help accelerate your depreciation. A cost segregation study restructures and accelerates depreciation by converting straight-line 27.5-year or 39-year depreciation items to the much shorter 5-year, 7-year, and 15-year depreciation schedules. By identifying property building components and reclassifying them for shorter depreciation schedules, cost segregation studies can significantly increase your cash flow and lower your taxes, often for the tax year incurred.

What Is Cost Segregation?

A cost segregation study is essentially an engineering-based study that investigates your Buffalo commercial property and identifies all assets that can be expensed through faster depreciation schedules, which reduces the amount of time you are paying tax on the building. In other words, rather than the building being depreciated in one long term for many years, the study identifies personal property and land improvements to be depreciated more quickly. The process involves the collection of information and documents related to the construction of your building and other improvements, and a site visit. Through the application of technical and financial expertise related to tax law and cost accounting, your company may be able to accelerate its depreciation deductions.

Our team of professional engineers and tax experts examine each and every part of your property in order to locate all potential deductions, including electrical systems or even equipment specific to you.
