Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When corporations intertwine and share their corporate fate
Connected through control or common ownership they create
A bond that runs through voting shares or common management ties
The tax man watches carefully for schemes in their disguise

[Chorus]
Connected corps and Part Four tax
Portfolio dividends attack
Refundable when paid out clean
The smartest anti-deferral scheme
Remember this accounting fact
Connected corps and Part Four tax

[Verse 2]
If Company A owns Company B through shares or control test
Or both are owned by common hands, they've passed connection's quest
But when these connected entities receive portfolio gold
From outside corporations, then Part Four rules take hold

[Chorus]
Connected corps and Part Four tax
Portfolio dividends attack
Refundable when paid out clean
The smartest anti-deferral scheme
Remember this accounting fact
Connected corps and Part Four tax

[Verse 3]
Portfolio dividends from strangers trigger Part Four's bite
Thirty-eight point thirty-three percent paid up that very night
But here's the twist that makes it fair, this tax can be reclaimed
When dividends flow out again, refunds can be obtained

[Bridge]
Connected means control or common
Portfolio means arms-length common
Part Four prevents the deferral game
Making sure the tax stays the same

[Chorus]
Connected corps and Part Four tax
Portfolio dividends attack
Refundable when paid out clean
The smartest anti-deferral scheme
Remember this accounting fact
Connected corps and Part Four tax

[Outro]
When connections form and dividends flow
Part Four makes sure the taxes show
Refundable but paid today
That's the connected corporate way
