Related Party Transactions Involving Liability to Tax
Where a resident corporation carries on business with a non-resident corporation and by reason of the relationship between such corporations
the course of business between them has been so arranged that the business done by the resident produces less profits than those which could
be expected to arise from that business if such relationship had not existed, Inland Revenue may determine in a reasonable fashion whether
any additional profits should be deemed to be assessable income of the resident corporation.
1. Milling – Beer brewing begins with polished barley grains called malt, which are passed through a milling machine to crack the dried
kernels and grind them into a coarse powder.
2. Mash tun – The milled grain is dropped into the mash tun with warm water of a certain temperature, depending on the brew recipe; the
grain and water are mixed together to create a mash - a thick, sweet liquid called wort.
3. Lautering – The wort is then drained off in a vessel called a lauter tun (German for “purification tank”) where the husks are used like a
giant sieve or filter bed for filtering out the “spent” grain.
4. Boiling – The wort is boiled and spiced with hops for up to 90 minutes in a large kettle, or wort copper.
5. Fermenting – After it is cooled, the wort is then transferred to a fermentation tank where the sugars are metabolized into alcohol and
carbon dioxide, and the resulting mixture is then called young beer.
6. Conditioning – The beer is cooled to around freezing point, which encourages settling of the yeast and causes proteins to thicken; the
beer becomes crisp and clean.
7. Filtering – In this stage the filtering removes excess yeast, protein, and other insolubles, as well as stabilizes the flavor so that the beer
becomes bright and clear.
8. Pasteurizing – The beer is pasteurized to kill off any of the remaining yeast and any other microorganisms.
9. Packaging – The finished beer is then mechanically filled into bottles or kegs.
