Cost Segregation requires assigning the “proper recovery period”
to each asset.
03
To do a credible job, you need to know which assets are 5, 7, 15,
27.5 and 39 year and how to value them.

Report
There are two steps in cost segregation:
Identifying and measuring the quantity and quality
of various types of recovery periods (“depreciation
lives” in English) and
Valuing the components.
The balance is simply reporting.

It is a credible method and generates credible and
reliable results with relevant documentation.
