I believe the answer is:

fiscal

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

'taxing' is the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fiscal that I've seen before include "Relating to state revenue" , "Relating to tax" , "Relating to taxes" , "In respect of tax revenues" , "Relating to the public revenue" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
