Be left at home with husband with tax going up (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inherit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be left' is the definition.
(to inherit something is to be left it)

'home with husband with tax going up' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'home' could be 'in' (to be in is to be (at) home) and 'in' is found in the answer.
'husband' could be 'h' (abbreviation) and 'h' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inherit that I've seen before include "Receive as heir" , "Come into (money)" , "Gain by succession" , "Be bequeathed" , "Receive as bequest from will" .)
