Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Start with accounting profit on your ledger page
But taxable income needs a corporate stage
Add back depreciation, CCA takes its place
Meals cut in half, entertainment shows its face
Some reserves forbidden, timing rules apply
Transform that bottom line before the tax can fly

[Chorus]
From book to tax, the journey's clear
One-twelve deduction makes dividends disappear
Part Four kicks in when private corps collect
RDTOH refunds what integration protects
Corporate income dancing through the maze
Book to tax in calculating ways

[Verse 2]
Inter-company dividends flow between the firms
Section one-twelve wipes them clean, no taxable terms
But Part Four tax awaits when CCPCs receive
From portfolio holdings, thirty-eight percent they'll grieve
Connected corps escape this burden's heavy hand
Ownership thresholds help you understand

[Chorus]
From book to tax, the journey's clear
One-twelve deduction makes dividends disappear
Part Four kicks in when private corps collect
RDTOH refunds what integration protects
Corporate income dancing through the maze
Book to tax in calculating ways

[Bridge]
Investment income in a CCPC's domain
Gets extra tax but refunds ease the strain
RDTOH accounts track what the system owes
When dividends flow out, the refund money goes
Integration theory keeps the burden fair
Whether earned direct or through corporate share

[Verse 3]
Eligible dividends trigger refunds from the pot
Non-eligible too, but different rates they've got
Aggregate investment income sets the stage
For refundable portions at the appropriate age
Capital gains and rental streams contribute their share
To pools that balance corporate tax with care

[Chorus]
From book to tax, the journey's clear
One-twelve deduction makes dividends disappear
Part Four kicks in when private corps collect
RDTOH refunds what integration protects
Corporate income dancing through the maze
Book to tax in calculating ways

[Outro]
Accounting income starts the corporate tale
But tax adjustments tip the scales
Remember refundable systems and their grace
Keeping integration doctrine in its place
