The process of understanding what's raised for Revenue (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uptake

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

'the process' is the definition.
(uptake is a kind of process)

'raised for revenue' is the wordplay.
'raised' becomes 'up' ('up' can be similar in meaning to 'raised').
'for revenue' becomes 'take' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'up'+'take'='UPTAKE'

'of understanding what's' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uptake that I've seen before include "Acceptance of offer" , "Mental grasp" , "Apprehension" , "Ability to understand what is meant - some are slow on it" , "Comprehension" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
