Merle Rosskam
CEO
Not all gas station assets qualify for 100% bonus depreciation, but many do. Personal property components such as fuel dispensers, point-of-sale systems, signage, and certain equipment may qualify for 100% bonus depreciation under current tax law. Land improvements like parking lot paving and canopy structures typically fall into 15-year property, which also qualifies. A cost segregation study identifies every eligible component so you capture the maximum available bonus depreciation.
