I always say what would it fetch on the open market. Like others say, ebay etc. If it's worth £100 then it's £100. If it's worthless, it's worthless.

Would it be better to make this payment personally to the company before the company ceases to trade and final accounts are prepared, in order to officially dispose of this asset, prior to progressing a liquidation?
Or could/should this be done after? Not sure if it matters.

Write it off to £0. Nothing of any value when the screen has broken.

Profit on asset disposal will need to go onto your CT return so, for the sake of such a low value item, you do need to ask yourself wether it's worth paying yourCo the cash, calculating the tax on the gain and then pay yourself back the proceeds when you take the final distribution?
If you didn't record the item as an asset then there's really no accounting to be done as you've processed the cost as an overhead not a capital expense.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Given the small amounts, it's not worth keeping the company open for another 4 months and having to pay my accountants fees that bit longer.
I'm also keen to get the ball rolling on the MVL given the delays at HMRC. Ideally want to get everything completed before the start of the new tax year before any potential changes to CGT and/or ER.

I'm looking to go down the MVL route and my company has a laptop bought just under 3 years ago (2 years and 8 months to be precise) for £830 (Dell Inspiron 15 5000).
It's in excellent condition, but just wondering what is an appropriate amount to sell this to myself in order to dispose of this company asset ahead of an MVL?
I looked on ebay, but there's a big variation of prices and probably focused more towards newer used laptops.
I'd be interested to hear how others priced their used laptops (or other assets) in a similar situation.
Thanks
