Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your boss cuts checks, you get T4
Salary and benefits, that's what it's for
Employer to employee, wages flow
CRA needs to track what you're owed

Pensions coming through the door
T4A tells them even more
Payer to recipient, the money moves
Government tracking all the grooves

[Chorus]
Who pays whom, follow the line
Every slip has this design
From the payer to receiver
Information slip believer
Summary goes to CRA
Slip copy comes your way
Who pays whom, that's the key
Information transparency

[Verse 2]
Lost your job, need EI aid
Service Canada's got you paid
T4E shows the benefits received
Claimant gets what they achieved

RRSP withdrawal time has come
T4RSP shows the total sum
Issuer to annuitant, retirement cash
Government watching every stash

[Chorus]
Who pays whom, follow the line
Every slip has this design
From the payer to receiver
Information slip believer
Summary goes to CRA
Slip copy comes your way
Who pays whom, that's the key
Information transparency

[Verse 3]
Dividends and interest earned
T5 shows what you've returned
Payer to investor, profits made
Every dollar's been displayed

Trust income gets allocated
T3 keeps beneficiaries updated
Trustee to beneficiary flow
Documentation helps them know

[Bridge]
Construction contracts, that's T5018
Broker trades on T5008 scene
Partnerships report on T5013
Non-residents get NR4 and T4A-NR routine

Every slip needs summary form
One for you, one for the norm
CRA gets the full report
While you get your own support

[Chorus]
Who pays whom, follow the line
Every slip has this design
From the payer to receiver
Information slip believer
Summary goes to CRA
Slip copy comes your way
Who pays whom, that's the key
Information transparency

[Outro]
Money flows and paper trails
Information never fails
Who pays whom, remember this
Every slip follows the bliss
