Identify Non-Structural Building Components For Reduced Commercial Property Tax

If you own a CPA firm, you already know that taxes can be complicated. However, you can make your clients’ taxes ‘disappear’ with a specialized property cost segregation study.

Call ABGi today for expert advice to shorten depreciation periods and save money on taxes.

The firm's team of experts in tax law and construction engineering is positioned to serve CPAs, real estate investors, and anybody who owns commercial property.

How Cost Segregation Aids Tax Deductions

New additions, asset disposals, and demolitions can provide significant tax benefits for commercial property owners. As such, ABGi offers engineering-based cost segregation studies tailored to each property, analyzing buildings within U.S. tax code guidelines to identify depreciable assets and potential tax credits.

Building structures are depreciated over a 39-year tax life in the US, but personal property assets can be depreciated over shorter periods of 5, 7, or 15 years. Cost segregation studies aim to identify and categorize personal property assets within your property to shorten depreciation periods, reducing current income tax obligations for property owners.

Personal Property Assets: Faster Depreciation

Personal property assets include non-structural elements and indirect construction costs such as:

• land improvements (i.e., landscaping & parking lots)
• commercial equipment or machinery
• specialty plumbing & electrical systems
• new construction 
• renovation or remodeling
