Ms Klebb holding out-of-date tax returns for judge (8)
I believe the answer is:
assessor
'for judge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ms klebb holding out-of-date tax returns' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'tax' could be 'assess' (to assess is to set the level of a tax) and 'assess' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assessor that I've seen before include "Official who evaluates property" , "Maker of valuations" , "One making evaluation" , "Legal adviser" , "Evaluator, estimator" .)
