Tax process bidding to surpass lease limits (7)
I believe the answer is:
levying
'surpass lease limits' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'tax process bidding' is the wordplay.
'tax' becomes 'levy' (I've seen this before).
'process bidding' becomes 'ing' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'levy'+'ing'='LEVYING'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for levying that I've seen before include "Imposing (a tax, etc)" , "The imposition of taxes" .)
