Division of a real firm accepting case of evasion over raised tax (7)
I believe the answer is:
centavo
'division of a real' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for centavo that I've seen before include "South American money" , "bit of money" , "money abroad" , "Foreign money" , "Small coin of Mexico, Brazil, etc" .)
