I'm getting money to confiscate (7)
I believe the answer is:
impound
'to confiscate' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'i'm getting money' is the wordplay.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'money' becomes 'pound' (pound sterling).
'im'+'pound'='IMPOUND'
(Other definitions for impound that I've seen before include "appropriate" , "Confiscate" , "Take legal possession of" , "Seize (goods) legally" , "Seize and take custody of (items)" .)
