Put a strain on (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tax

'put a strain on' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tax that I've seen before include "Be trying" , "Payment to the Exchequer" , "E.g. VAT" , "Strain - duty" , "Compulsory contribution towards a country's expenses" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
