Cost Segregation

Cost segregation studies accelerate depreciation expense on capital assets that can be classified as personal property, as opposed to real property, resulting in significant tax benefits. By moving the shorter lived personal property, fixtures and land improvements out of the real estate category, it is possible to reduce taxable income during the early years of ownership. AccuVal’s reports are prepared to meet the quality standards of the Internal Revenue Service (i.e. the standards as set forth in its “Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide”), as well as all Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) standards.
