Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When your corporation wears the maple leaf crown
Canadian-controlled and private, locked down
Active business income streams through the gate
But the business limit holds your corporate fate

[Chorus]
Small Business Deduction, lower rates you claim
Five hundred thousand dollar annual game
CCPC qualifying, active income flowing
SBD saves taxes, profit margins growing

[Verse 2]
Manufacturing widgets, consulting expertise
Professional services dancing in the breeze
But investment income sits outside the door
Portfolio returns don't qualify for more

[Chorus]
Small Business Deduction, lower rates you claim
Five hundred thousand dollar annual game
CCPC qualifying, active income flowing
SBD saves taxes, profit margins growing

[Verse 3]
When sister companies share the same control
Associated corporation rules take their toll
Split that business limit, carve it thin
Brothers, sisters, parents force the spin

[Bridge]
Taxable capital creeps past ten million
Watch your SBD shrink, calculation's brilliant
Fifteen million threshold cuts the benefit clean
Zero deduction past that corporate scene

[Chorus]
Small Business Deduction, lower rates you claim
Five hundred thousand dollar annual game
CCPC qualifying, active income flowing
SBD saves taxes, profit margins growing

[Outro]
Active business threshold, watch the numbers dance
Lower tax percentage gives small business chance
Canadian controlled, private corporation's prize
SBD mechanics fuel enterprise
