Cost Segregation

HLB Gravier, LLP can help increase your cash flow through IRS approved cost segregation studies. Our team of CPAs and engineers have allowed companies that have purchased an existing facility or constructed a building from the ground up to frontload depreciation deductions into the early years of ownership. This is accomplished by reclassifying vital portions of a building according to the length of their estimated life spans. With cost segregation, each of these vital components can be classified as personal property according to standards by the IRS. The end result is significantly shorter tax lives (5-, 7-, and 15 year) rather than the standard 39 year for commercial and 27.5 year for residential properties.
