For taxes, it's the arrangement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tithes

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

'for taxes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to property as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'it's the arrangement' is the wordplay.
'arrangement' indicates anagramming the letters.
'its'+'the'='itsthe'
'itsthe' anagrammed gives 'TITHES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tithes that I've seen before include "Levies of one-tenth, to church perhaps" , "Tenth parts, levied by a church perhaps" , "Tenth portions of income given to church" , "Tenths of income once paid to church" , "Tenth parts, levied by some churches" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
