What is a Fixed Assets Review?

A Fixed Assets Review involves an in-depth assessment of your company’s fixed assets to identify potential savings and ensure compliance with tax regulations. This review focuses on areas like asset classification, depreciation schedules, and capital allowances, helping your business avoid overpaying on taxes while maximizing deductions.

What Does a Fixed Assets Review Include?

Cost Segregation

Analyze commercial building components to enable faster depreciation for items like land improvements and personal property.

Individual Asset Review

Identify assets like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems that qualify for rapid depreciation, which are often depreciated too slowly.

Capital to Expense Studies

Retroactively reclassify certain capital expenditures as repair and maintenance costs, such as roofing and parking lot repairs, to increase deductions.

Retirement Studies

Identify and deduct the remaining basis of “ghost assets” (e.g., removed roofs or HVAC units) that are still on your records but no longer in use.

§45L Energy Efficient Home Credit

Claim up to $5,000 in tax credits per eligible unit for new or renovated residences meeting energy-efficient standards.

Demolition Costs

Deduct demolition costs for building improvements under TPRs, instead of capitalizing with new asset costs.

Bonus Depreciation

Maximize immediate deductions by applying bonus depreciation, allowing you to write off up to 100% of certain new asset costs.

Intangible Asset Review

Accelerate amortization for intangibles (e.g., expired non-compete agreements) that are often misclassified.
