Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah runs a bakery, makes her bread each day
Tom collects apartment rent from tenants who pay
Business income flows from work and enterprise
Property income sits and generates its prize
Canderel taught us profits need a proper test
Matching revenues with costs works the very best

[Chorus]
Subdivision B, the income tree
Business branches, property leaves
Section sixty-seven keeps it reasonable and true
Eighteen limits what you can deduct, it's nothing new
Twenty gives you capital cost allowance every year
Income calculation, crystal clear

[Verse 2]
Inventory valuation, pick your method well
FIFO, LIFO, average cost will tell
Home office expenses need that space exclusive
Vehicle logs and mileage, records so conclusive
Reasonable and necessary, that's the golden rule
Section eighteen limitations, learn them like a school

[Chorus]
Subdivision B, the income tree
Business branches, property leaves
Section sixty-seven keeps it reasonable and true
Eighteen limits what you can deduct, it's nothing new
Twenty gives you capital cost allowance every year
Income calculation, crystal clear

[Bridge]
Rental income minus expenses paid
Repairs are current, improvements get delayed
Capital cost allowance depreciates with time
Match the fiscal period, keep your books in line

[Verse 3]
Personal use portions must be carved away
Business meals at fifty percent, that's what you pay
Capital versus current, timing makes the call
Well-established principles apply to one and all

[Chorus]
Subdivision B, the income tree
Business branches, property leaves
Section sixty-seven keeps it reasonable and true
Eighteen limits what you can deduct, it's nothing new
Twenty gives you capital cost allowance every year
Income calculation, crystal clear

[Outro]
From corner stores to rental towers
Subdivision B has all the powers
Business income, property too
Canadian tax law, tried and true
