Be Eligible For Tax Credits With Cost Segregation
But, for this you need to hire the service of a renowned firm that understands the complexities of engineering and taxation. If you have re-modelled, expanded, purchased or constructed any form of real estate, cost segregation, a strategic tax saving tool helps you to enhance your cash flow by deferring state and federal income taxes and accelerating depreciation deductions. Through this you can identity equipment, fixture and furniture and all construction related costs that can be depreciated over 5, 7 and 15 years for tax purposes. With the reduction of tax lives, you can reduce tax liability, accelerate depreciation deduction and increase the cash flow.
A reputed firm will conduct the cost segregation study in the best possible manner and will provide all the information, which will include interviews, inspections and records. Thus, you will receive well-documented findings in the best format.
Also, if you or your company have incurred expenses in r&d, you can receive tax credits for the expenses. It is actually a federal tax incentive which is specially designed for promoting innovation. Thus, you can increase your budget for future innovation by lowering your tax obligations. Generally this incentive is misunderstood or overlooked by various tax preparers and tax payers as only attached with pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology or technology. But, it is applicable to events organized to develop new products or improve the current ones to bring out more reliable formulas, processes or products. This includes:
Development, implementation or up-gradation of software or system

Designing or analysing models or prototypes
Design of dies, jigs or tools
Experimentation of trial and error
Improvement of existing products
Analysing new concepts

So, with the help of a renowned firm, you can test whether you qualify for tax savings under cost segregation or r&d. If you find the answer as positive, you can always hire the service of the firm and it will help you in the best possible manner in compiling the reports, which will in turn help you to save tax and increase the cash flow!
