Cost Segregation (US)
The US tax code, while standardizing the depreciation of real estate over a 39-year period, provides the opportunity to carefully itemize certain aspects of the real estate that may be more appropriately defined as personal property. Non-structural items, including specialty lighting, interior decorating, exterior landscaping—even the labor costs associated with the installation of these items—can be reclassified for accelerated depreciation. By segregating these building costs, property owners can realize a faster return on their capital investments. Highly customized building applications, including research centers, manufacturers, restaurants and hotel uses may find substantial percentages of their projects advance from 39-year to five-or seven-year depreciation schedules. The result? Immediate tax benefits.
Any building in the United States currently under construction or remodeled since 1987 may be eligible. For cost/benefit purposes, an analysis makes sense for buildings valued at a minimum of $1 million. Since depreciation is an offset on your taxable income, the entity must be reporting a profit to benefit.
Services include:- We complete a preliminary review to quantify the benefits of a study. Some basic information about the property will be needed. Building and component engineering drawings should also be made-available. This analysis will determine if an in-depth review will yield a significant enough result to warrant the expense of the analysis.
- We discuss the review, and present our findings and our fee estimate.
- When the decision to move forward is granted, a detailed report of estimated and actual costs is compiled.
- A site visit and review is made by your Prager Metis expert.
- Working with our collaborative architectural engineering professionals, we assemble the data and allocate costs to assign proper classification of your assets.
- A carefully prepared comprehensive report is delivered to you as part of our review meeting.

All examinations are completed in strict accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as well as Prager Metis’s own internal controls.
A review may be performed when a less extensive degree of assurance is acceptable yet the business wants to know that some form of financial statement analysis has occurred. The purpose is to provide you with a limited degree of assurance in a statement to conform with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
A compilation entails gathering data into an acceptable financial format. We express no opinion or assurance of the statement. It requires no inquiry of management and instead relies on our accounting expertise and knowledge of your business.
