What is Cost Segregation
Cost segregation is an effective tax planning strategy that helps businesses and individuals involved in constructing, purchasing, expanding, or renovating real estate reduce their tax liabilities by accelerating depreciation deductions, which allows for the deferral of both federal and state income taxes.
Heavy Manufacturing Facilities
Heavy manufacturing facilities often rely on advanced, high-tech equipment, making them ideal candidates for cost segregation. This strategy allows owners to separate assets like machinery, production lines, and specialized systems, qualifying them for accelerated depreciation. By doing so, owners can reduce taxable income, improve cash flow, and free up capital for reinvestment. Ultimately, cost segregation helps optimize tax positions, enhance financial performance, and increase long-term profitability.
This case study highlights the benefits of accelerated depreciation for manufacturing facilities, showing how optimizing depreciation on equipment and machinery can reduce taxable income, improve cash flow, and boost profitability.
