Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah's consulting firm needs fresh expertise
Wants to learn blockchain for her client's needs
But hold on tight, there's rules to heed
Training must connect to what you feed
Your current business, not some distant dream
Keep it relevant to your revenue stream

[Chorus]
Connected, reasonable, corporate gain
Three limits dancing in the tax refrain
Connected to your work today
Reasonable compared to what you're paid
Corporate expense when employees train
Remember these three, ease the strain

[Verse 2]
No magic number caps your learning cost
But auditors will question if you've lost
Your sense of scale and proportion wise
A million-dollar course might raise their eyes
When your income's just ten thousand clear
Keep it sensible year after year

[Chorus]
Connected, reasonable, corporate gain
Three limits dancing in the tax refrain
Connected to your work today
Reasonable compared to what you're paid
Corporate expense when employees train
Remember these three, ease the strain

[Bridge]
If you're incorporated and staff need skills
Training costs become the company's bills
Deductible expense, no taxable perk
Your employees learn while the business works
But personal growth for distant career shifts
Won't qualify for these tax code gifts

[Verse 3]
Mark runs IT consulting, wants to grow
Studies cybersecurity, client needs to know
That's connected business, green light shines
But cooking classes cross forbidden lines
Unless his clients need that kitchen code
Stay in your lane on the deduction road

[Chorus]
Connected, reasonable, corporate gain
Three limits dancing in the tax refrain
Connected to your work today
Reasonable compared to what you're paid
Corporate expense when employees train
Remember these three, ease the strain

[Outro]
Business-linked learning, proportioned right
Corporate training shines in audit light
Three simple rules to guide your way
Deduct with confidence every day
