    A question for people familiar with companies.If i own a company can I purchase a house with the company and rent the house back to myself. And can I purchase the house off the company for myself some time in the future.

    fbt
    cgt
    stamp dut
    asset protection
    etc

    not worth doing

    Yes, you can, but as Terry points out, you will pay CGT on the sale.

    And you can't sell it at a discounted rate, as the CGT will be calculated on the market value at the time of sale.

    I agree with Terry, it's not worth it.
