Ranges in foreign income (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earnings

'income' is the definition.
(earnings is a kind of income)

'ranges in foreign' is the wordplay.
'foreign' is an anagram indicator (foreign order of the letters).
'ranges'+'in'='rangesin'
'rangesin' with letters rearranged gives 'EARNINGS'.

(Other definitions for earnings that I've seen before include "Monies obtained in return for labour or services" , "Revenue" , "Moneys brought in for grannies" , "Returns received for work" , "Wages for grannies" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
