Maximize Savings with Tax Credits and Incentives
At Essential HR Partners, we help businesses unlock valuable tax credits and incentives that can significantly reduce tax liabilities and increase profitability. Navigating the complex world of tax credits can be overwhelming, but with our expertise, you can ensure that your business takes full advantage of the opportunities available at the federal, state, and local levels.
Why Tax Credits Matter
Tax credits and incentives provide businesses with a direct reduction in taxes owed, often translating into thousands of dollars in savings. These credits are designed to encourage specific business activities, such as hiring, research and development, sustainability efforts, and investments in certain regions or industries. By strategically leveraging these incentives, you can not only reduce your tax burden but also reinvest those savings into growing your business.
Common Tax Credits
and Incentives
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Credits
Businesses that invest in renewable energy, energy-efficient buildings, or sustainability initiatives may qualify for energy tax credits. These incentives reduce tax bills while encouraging environmentally responsible practices.
Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)
The WOTC offers incentives to employers hiring individuals from target groups like veterans, the long-term unemployed, or those receiving public assistance. This credit provides significant savings and promotes diverse hiring practices.
Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credits
Businesses investing in renewable energy, energy-efficient buildings, or sustainability initiatives may qualify for energy tax credits, reducing tax liabilities and supporting environmentally responsible practices.
Geographic-Based Incentives
Federal and state governments provide tax incentives for businesses in designated areas like Opportunity Zones, Enterprise Zones, and Empowerment Zones. These incentives offer financial benefits to companies investing in economically distressed communities, boosting their financial position while contributing to local revitalization. This creates a win-win, supporting economic growth and business success.
Cost Segregation
Cost segregation analyzes building components to identify assets eligible for shorter depreciation periods. While standard commercial real estate depreciates over 39 years (27.5 for residential), cost segregation allows certain assets, such as fixtures and landscaping, to depreciate over 5, 7, or 15 years. This approach boosts cash flow and provides earlier tax savings through accelerated depreciation, tax deferral, and bonus depreciation.
Who Can Benefit from Cost Segregation?
Any business that owns, builds, renovates, or acquires commercial real estate can benefit from cost segregation. This strategy is especially advantageous for industries such as:
​
-
Real estate investors
-
Manufacturing and industrial businesses
-
Retail and hospitality
-
Healthcare facilities
-
Office and corporate spaces
​
Even if you've owned your property for several years, you may still be eligible for retroactive cost segregation studies, allowing you to catch up on missed depreciation deductions without amending previous tax returns.
