Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jenny's pension landed in her mailbox last week
Section fifty-six says income we must seek
Employment Insurance checks when jobs disappear
Social assistance too, it all counts here
But scholarships for study? Different beast to tame
If for tuition, books, supplies - excluded from the game

[Chorus]
Fifty-six brings income in
Sixty takes deductions thin
RRSP contributions ease your load
Support payments split the code
Moving for your job's new door
Section sixty-two and more

[Verse 2]
RRSP room builds eighteen percent of what you earn
Contribution limits help your tax burden turn
Section sixty deductions shrink your taxable pay
Registered retirement pulls those taxes away
But watch the deadline - sixty days past year-end date
Miss it and your deduction meets a bitter fate

[Chorus]
Fifty-six brings income in
Sixty takes deductions thin
RRSP contributions ease your load
Support payments split the code
Moving for your job's new door
Section sixty-two and more

[Bridge]
Alimony's twisted dance, who pays and who receives
Child support stays with the kids, no tax relief it weaves
But spousal payments flip the script, deduction for the giver
Inclusion for receiver makes their tax bill quiver

[Verse 3]
New job beckons forty kilometers away
Moving costs deductible when distance comes to play
Travel, storage, shipping fees, hotel nights en route
Selling old house, buying new, section sixty-two takes root
But timing matters critically, within the year relocate
Or deductions vanish quickly, don't hesitate too late

[Chorus]
Fifty-six brings income in
Sixty takes deductions thin
RRSP contributions ease your load
Support payments split the code
Moving for your job's new door
Section sixty-two and more

[Outro]
Income flows and deductions go
Through the sections that you know
Fifty-six, sixty, sixty-two
Canadian tax law pulling through
