Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the taxman sends assessment news that makes your wallet weep
Ninety days to file objection or forever hold your peace
Section one-six-five demands your reasons crystal clear
Notice of Objection guards your right to persevere

[Chorus]
Ninety days to object, don't delay
CRA Appeals will hear your case
Tax Court waits if talks collapse
Informal under twenty-five or general procedure maps
Your rights protect, appeals connect
Settlement saves the lengthy chase

[Verse 2]
Appeals Division scrutinizes every claim you make
Reassessment or confirmation hangs upon their take
If negotiations crumble and you need judicial might
Tax Court of Canada becomes your legal battleground tonight

[Chorus]
Ninety days to object, don't delay
CRA Appeals will hear your case
Tax Court waits if talks collapse
Informal under twenty-five or general procedure maps
Your rights protect, appeals connect
Settlement saves the lengthy chase

[Bridge]
Federal Court of Appeal awaits above
Supreme Court crowns the legal pyramid of justice, truth and love
Alternative dispute resolution offers peaceful compromise
Taxpayer Bill of Rights ensures fair treatment never dies

[Verse 3]
Informal procedure keeps it simple, costs contained
General procedure when the stakes demand more formal game
Settlement conferences bridge the gap between positions held
Mediation heals what litigation never could have melled

[Final Chorus]
Ninety days to object, don't delay
CRA Appeals will hear your case
Tax Court waits if talks collapse
Informal under twenty-five or general procedure maps
Your rights protect, appeals connect
Settlement saves the lengthy chase
Justice flows through appeal's embrace

[Outro]
From Notice filed to Supreme Court's final word
Your taxpayer rights must always be preserved and heard
