Propose carrying Times article, subject to official charges (7)
I believe the answer is:
taxable
'subject to official charges' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'propose carrying times article' is the wordplay.
'propose' becomes 'table' (as in tabling a motion).
'carrying' is an insertion indicator.
'times' becomes 'x' (2 times 4 is 2 x 4).
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'x'+'a'='xa'
'table' placed around 'xa' is 'TAXABLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for taxable that I've seen is " Subject to levy".)
