Using Cost Segregation to Maximize Tax Savings on Your Auto Dealership

Cost Segregation

Cost Segregation is an engineering-based analysis used to accelerate depreciation of dealership real estate, decreasing tax liability and increasing cash flow. This course will present an overview of cost segregation, exploring dealership assets eligible for accelerated depreciation. We’ll discuss general factors that make a dealership a good candidate for study, and review what the study process entails. We will also consider study timing, discussing the utility of cost segregation at all points in the dealership life cycle. We’ll explore how cost segregation is the vehicle for a myriad of tax savings -- bonus depreciation, energy-efficiency credits, partial asset disposition under the Tangible Property Regulations, and more. The importance of a comprehensive plan leveraging multiple tax strategies in tandem will be addressed. Finally, multiple real-life case studies will be reviewed to highlight the potential scope of savings in new construction, acquisition, and dealership refresh scenarios.
