Please don't consider this carte blanche to now buy loads of new gear, get tax relief in the final company figures, then do the same.Comment

If it is worth something YourCo could sell it.
Or you could "scrap it" and write it off and just keep it anyway. IMO not technically correct but in practice I doubt HMRC would ever find out.
If the company keeps it and you liquidate the company then it will become your property as part of the final distribution anyway, same as the profits left in the company.Comment
