Raise tax (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

levy

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'raise' is the first definition.
('levy' can be a synonym of 'raise')

'tax' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for levy that I've seen before include "tax money" , "Moneys raised by fines, taxes" , "Tax raised" , "Money raised from taxes, etc" , "Tax, fee, fine, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
