Crossword Genius

Tax is a chore (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

duty

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'tax' is the first definition.
(duty can mean a tax or toll)

'chore' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'is a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for duty that I've seen before include "assignment" , "Is one bound" , "A tax; compulsory task" , "Government tax" , "Not subject to customs tax" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
