Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Income Tax Act splits in sections, subsections neat
Five through eight for employment, nine to thirty-seven complete
Business income calculations, twelve for property streams
Thirty-eight through fifty-five where capital gains gleams

[Chorus]
Sources four, remember more
Employment, business, property door
Capital gains at fifty percent
Calculate what the taxman meant
Gross-up dividends, credits flow
Adjusted cost base, watch it grow

[Verse 2]
Automobile benefits, housing perks in hand
Stock options trigger taxes across this northern land
RPP contributions, union dues subtract
Home office deductions if you've got the paperwork backed

[Chorus]
Sources four, remember more
Employment, business, property door
Capital gains at fifty percent
Calculate what the taxman meant
Gross-up dividends, credits flow
Adjusted cost base, watch it grow

[Verse 3]
CCA classes depreciate your assets down
Eligible capital property spins around
Inventory valuation, FIFO or weighted cost
Interest income's fully taxed, nothing's ever lost

[Bridge]
Eligible dividends get thirty-eight percent
Non-eligible get fifteen, that's how the rules are bent
Principal residence exemption saves your family home
Listed personal property, let those losses roam

[Verse 4]
RRSP contributions, eighteen percent or max
Pension income splitting cuts your couple's tax
Moving expenses, childcare costs, support payments too
Medical and charitable, credits coming through

[Chorus]
Sources four, remember more
Employment, business, property door
Capital gains at fifty percent
Calculate what the taxman meant
Gross-up dividends, credits flow
Adjusted cost base, watch it grow

[Outro]
Net income to taxable, then tax payable's clear
Provincial rates and residency, AMT we fear
Basic personal amount, age and disability
Tuition credits carry forward through eternity
