Tithing - Purchasing a Warehouse for Business

Question

I bought a new warehouse for the business, and it's clear that without the business I wouldn't have bought it, especially since I took a mortgage on it. Can it be considered an expense for the purpose of tithing, or ultimately, since I benefit from having another asset, is it not an expense?

Answer

Hello 

Currently, it is considered an expense for the business. 

If you sell the warehouse in the future and realize the profit for yourself, you will then need to give a tithe.
