Cost Segregation Studies are the key to lucrative tax benefits for the hospitality industry.
Hotel owners that have performed a Cost Segregation Study (CSS) on their property are aware of the lucrative savings on the other side of this tax strategy. Not only can CSS benefit owners of newly constructed hotels, but it can also greatly benefit property owners with buildings constructed, purchased or remodeled after 1987.
The study identifies fixed assets and their costs, determines areas of savings, and unlocks otherwise hidden cash flow that can be invested directly back into the business. This can be especially beneficial when a business is in its early days, as more cash on hand, lower business credit risk, and lower insurance premiums are all possible perks of the study.
Tap Into Your Hotel Building Savings
Cost segregation leads to increased cash flow by accelerating deductions and deferring federal and state income taxes. The study restructures the depreciation of commercial properties by re-classifying assets from a 39-year depreciable life to a 5, 7, or 15-year depreciable life. Our team of engineers are certified in all 50 states and are prepared to help you obtain top-dollar savings.
