Cancels concerning tolls (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repeals

'cancels' is the definition.
(repealing is a kind of cancelling)

'concerning tolls' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'tolls' becomes 'peals' ('peal' can be a synonym of 'toll').
're'+'peals'='REPEALS'

(Other definitions for repeals that I've seen before include "Annuls an act" , "Sets aside" .)

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