What people are made to pay, thanks to sex change (5)
I believe the answer is:
taxes
'what people are made to pay' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'thanks to sex change' is the wordplay.
'thanks' becomes 'ta' (UK informal version of 'thank you').
'change' is an anagram indicator.
'sex' anagrammed gives 'xes'.
'ta'+'xes'='TAXES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for taxes that I've seen before include "Levies, strains" , "Puts great strain on, as Revenue Commissioners do" , "Levies imposed by government" , "Levies duty" .)
