Tax Reduction Affected by Cost Segregation

Tax reduction is just one of the benefits of cost segregation. Many real estate owners and tax preparers believe cost segregation simply defers payment of taxes. While they recognize it effectively generates an interest-free loan from the government, they do not understand it also provides tax reductions in most cases.

This occurs because the additional depreciation is a tax deduction that reduces ordinary income. When the property is sold, it is recognized as capital gains income. Having more tax deductions increases tax reduction.

Since a portion of the cost basis is allocated to short-life improvements, some owners and tax preparers express

Tax Reduction Benefits of Cost Segregation

Tax reduction and tax deferral are the primary benefits of obtaining a cost segregation study. Tax reduction occurs since more income is taxed at the capital gains rate instead of the ordinary income rate. Tax deferral occurs since depreciation is accurately taken in the early years of ownership.

Additional benefits other than tax reduction related to obtaining a cost segregation study are more accurate accounting, obtaining a book value for assets which may become worthless (tenant improvements for a financially unstable tenant) and an accurate method of tracking the cost basis and depreciation for all tenants.

Tax reduction is the most meaningful and least understood benefit of cost segregation. Consider the following example of how cost segregation converts income taxed at 35% to income taxed at 15%:
