I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'tax' is the first definition.
(both can mean to demand a lot from)

'inherited property' is the second definition.
'strain' can be an answer for 'property' (strain is a kind of property). I am not sure about the 'inherited' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strain that I've seen before include "Drain off" , "Filter the stress" , "Strive; ancestry" , "Pressure - filter" , "Race" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
