[Verse 1]
Sarah keeps her mileage book beside the driver's seat
Every business trip recorded while the ink is fresh and neat
Date and destination, purpose written crystal clear
Contemporaneous evidence protects you year by year
[Chorus]
Document in real time, formal papers signed
Market rates researched, consistent and defined
Reasonable proportions, calculations clean
Professional preparation keeps your records bulletproof pristine
[Verse 2]
When you rent your home office to your corporation's name
Written lease agreement keeps the taxman's questions tame
Fair market value pricing, what a stranger would pay
Related party dealings need benchmarks on display
[Chorus]
Document in real time, formal papers signed
Market rates researched, consistent and defined
Reasonable proportions, calculations clean
Professional preparation keeps your records bulletproof pristine
[Bridge]
Thirty percent for office space? Show the square footage math
Mixing personal with business? That's a dangerous path
Year to year consistency builds your credible defense
Simple calculations justify each business expense
[Verse 3]
Receipts collected daily, not reconstructed later
Professional tax software or a qualified translator
CRA audits target patterns that don't make sense
Six shields of protection for your small business defense
[Final Chorus]
Document in real time, formal papers signed
Market rates researched, consistent and defined
Reasonable proportions, calculations clean
Professional preparation keeps your records bulletproof pristine
Bulletproof pristine, your defense complete
