Letters initially relating to tax (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paye

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

'tax' is the definition.
(PAYE is an example)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paye that I've seen before include "Plain man's income tax system" , "System of withholding tax" , "The working man's income tax system" , "The working persons' tax system" , "The tax system for the working man" .)
