[Verse 1]
When your client calls you up to work in Montreal
Pack your bags, you're heading out, gonna give it your all
Three months in the city, project's got you staying long
Temporary housing costs can help your business stay strong
[Chorus]
Extended and temporary, that's the key to see
Hotel bills and short-term rentals, deductible for me
Not my home, just business zone, while I'm earning my fee
Fifty percent on meals I eat, extended temporary
[Verse 2]
Got an Airbnb for two months while I'm coding their app
Corporate apartment by the week, filling that client gap
This isn't where I live for good, just business on the road
Temporary accommodation, helps me lighten tax load
[Chorus]
Extended and temporary, that's the key to see
Hotel bills and short-term rentals, deductible for me
Not my home, just business zone, while I'm earning my fee
Fifty percent on meals I eat, extended temporary
[Bridge]
Permanent residence stays at home
Where you live when work is done
But when projects take you far away
Business deductions help you run
[Verse 3]
Keep those receipts for every night you're staying out of town
Document the client work that keeps you moving around
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner too, fifty percent you claim
Extended temporary assignments, playing the deduction game
[Chorus]
Extended and temporary, that's the key to see
Hotel bills and short-term rentals, deductible for me
Not my home, just business zone, while I'm earning my fee
Fifty percent on meals I eat, extended temporary
[Outro]
Most significant deduction when you travel for your trade
Extended and temporary, that's how consultant bills get paid
