Less than the antithesis taxes! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tithes

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

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

'less than the antithesis' is the wordplay.
'less' indicates a hidden word (the clue less some of the letters in it).
'TITHES' is hidden within 'than antithesis'.

Can you help me to learn more?

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