Maximizing tax savings through strategic cost segregation
OLIVE BRANCH, MS, USA
Anheuser-Busch Distribution Center
Salas O’Brien conducted a cost segregation study on a newly constructed 184,000-square-foot distribution center facility for the Southern Beverage Company. The analysis identified significant tax-saving opportunities by reclassifying assets into shorter depreciation periods. The building consists of an environmental-controlled beverage warehouse, sales and administration offices, shipping and receiving docks, an exterior fueling station, exterior pad-mounted generators, and a maintenance building.
The analysis reclassified assets from the standard 15-year depreciation period into shorter recovery periods. This reclassification resulted in accelerated depreciation for 30.37% of the $28 million property value, potentially generating substantial tax benefits for the owner through increased cash flow in the early years of ownership.
