Baked goods include one tax for areas that require cleaning (8)

I believe the answer is:

pigsties

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

'areas that require cleaning' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'baked goods include one tax' is the wordplay.
'baked goods' becomes 'pies' (pie is a kind of baked good).
'include' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'tax' becomes 'gst' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i'+'gst'='igst'
'pies' enclosing 'igst' is 'PIGSTIES'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pigsties that I've seen is " Homes for porkers or very dirty places".)

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