Accept fee to assume control (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

take charge

'assume control' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'accept fee' is the wordplay.
'accept' becomes 'take' (to accept is to take possession of).
'fee' becomes 'charge' (I've seen this before).
'take'+'charge'='TAKE CHARGE'

'to' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
