I believe the answer is:

antithesis

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

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

'article is on taxes' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'taxes' becomes 'tithes' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is' after 'tithes' is 'tithesis'.
'an'+'tithesis'='ANTITHESIS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for antithesis that I've seen before include "opposing view" , "Reverse" , "I oppose the suggestion" , "Opposite; contrasting idea" , "Opposition" .)
