Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah's home office hums with digital gear
Laptop processing client reports all year
That MacBook Pro she bought in spring
Every dollar spent's a deductible thing
The CRA accepts what helps you earn
Technology investments, watch returns burn

[Chorus]
Computers, phones, and cameras too
Deduct the tech that works for you
If it helps your consulting trade
Every purchase can be claimed
Hardware, software, gear that glows
Business use is what CRA knows

[Verse 2]
Dual monitors stretch across his desk
Coding contracts require no less
That 4K display and webcam bright
Makes client presentations shine just right
Printers, scanners, backup drives
Keep your business data alive

[Chorus]
Computers, phones, and cameras too
Deduct the tech that works for you
If it helps your consulting trade
Every purchase can be claimed
Hardware, software, gear that glows
Business use is what CRA knows

[Bridge]
Ergonomic mouse and keyboard stand
Smartphone buzzing business plans
Router, switch, and access point
Keep connections on joint
Microphones and lighting rigs
Video calls are now your gig

[Verse 3]
Mixed-use items need some math
Personal and business path
Eighty percent for work you say
Twenty personal every day
Keep receipts and track the split
Proper records are your kit

[Chorus]
Computers, phones, and cameras too
Deduct the tech that works for you
If it helps your consulting trade
Every purchase can be claimed
Hardware, software, gear that glows
Business use is what CRA knows

[Outro]
From tablets thin to storage thick
Technology deductions stick
Document purpose, save each bill
Tax time brings that money thrill
