The cost recovery services team of Crowe Horwath LLP works tirelessly to help you optimize your cash position through the deferral or minimization of taxes and the reduction of other real estate carrying costs. Those cash benefits derived from cost recovery services can ultimately increase your ROI and reduce the real costs of construction.
Tax strategies classify costs and help maximize ROI.
Maximizing return on your investment is essential. Crowe considers the full range of tax solutions, as well as other carrying-cost solutions, to reduce the “hard costs” of expansion and construction projects. Our cost recovery services team considers additional value propositions with our cost segregation studies, such as the following:
- Design for cost segregation;
- Embedded costs currently deductible;
- Property tax minimization;
- Sales tax minimization;
- Federal credits and incentives analysis;
- Property insurance minimization.
Whatever your industry, Crowe delivers results.
Since 2000, Crowe has done more than 1,000 cost recovery studies involving many billions of dollars in commercial property projects. Clients in all industries appreciate our recommendations and results:
- Manufacturing. $8.3 million in deferred taxes for the first five years for a new facility costing $72.8 million.
- Hospitality. The present value benefit derived from our cost recovery services approached $2 million and 5 percent of construction costs for a $40 million hotel/conference center.
- Retail. Crowe identified more than 50 percent of the construction costs of a $13 million retail super center as property eligible for accelerated depreciation lives and methods. The present value of the resulting tax deferral represented nearly 9 percent of the construction costs.
