SW Florida's Premier Cost Segregation Services Company




 Cost Segregation:
A Strategic Tax Saving Tool
to Increase Cash Flow and Net Present Value (NPV).

Cost Segregation is a method of reclassifying elements of commercial real estate for accelerated depreciation that decreases tax liability and gives
a tremendous net increase in
cash flow and NPV. See above
"Property Analyses" for examples of cash and NPV benefits.
In general, owners can get $180,000 to $200,000 in NPV for every million that is reclassified from real to personal property. Typically, 15-40% of a building's overall costs are in this category.

Our Mission Statement

Smart Seg Services mission is to provide, and be a champion and advocate for, a Cost Segregation Engineering-based approach to help our clients maximize their after-tax cash flow for more productive purposes. We are committed to the development of innovative cost segregation applications to better serve our clients' particular needs.

The Engineered Approach

In the absence of an engineering-based cost segregation study it is difficult for commercial property owners to fully separate all of the personal property, land improvement costs, and indirect costs from the structural cost of the building. The result is that misclassified personal property is subject to depreciation over 39 years and a substantially higher tax bill. Nonstructural items like ceiling tile, carpet, accent lighting and signage, or site work such as paving, sidewalks and landscaping can be “broken out” from structural costs and the depreciation accelerated. Many property owners can identify nonstructural items that qualify for accelerated depreciation. However, the greatest savings come from identifying assets in three broad functional areas: electrical, mechanical, and plumbing, which are often "hidden" in the walls.



You can have these Financial Benefits

In the last few years our engineers have performed over 2,500 studies, and we have provided, in total, both a cash flow and NPV (Net_Present_Value) increase of over $100 million to our clients, while having a 100% success record with the IRS. We can get these tremendous returns for you too.

An engineering-based cost segregation study helps you increase cash flow, accelerate depreciation, and reduce your tax burden, while ensuring that all claims meet IRS guidelines.
