Why Cost Segregation Is a Key Logistics Tax Strategy

October 9, 2023

Unlock substantial tax savings and bolster cash flow with cost segregation – a game-changing strategy for logistics companies

Cost segregation is a powerful tax strategy particularly beneficial for logistics companies, offering immediate cash flow improvements. It involves separating personal property assets from buildings and reclassifying them into shorter depreciation schedules, resulting in accelerated tax savings.


Logistics firms, with their heavy equipment and specialized machinery, are prime candidates for this strategy. By reclassifying assets like flooring, wiring, and lighting, companies can significantly reduce their tax liability and boost cash flow. For instance, a logistics company investing $37 million in a new distribution center enjoyed a first-year tax savings of $16.7 million through cost segregation.


Freese, Peralez, & Associates specializes in executing cost segregation studies, ensuring compliance with IRS guidelines, and maximizing available tax benefits. They offer comprehensive services, including analyzing previous capital investments to recapture savings from prior years, making cost segregation a valuable addition to logistics tax strategies.
