Theatrical Chancellor of the Exchequer's going after small tax payments (6)
I believe the answer is:
scenic
'theatrical' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'chancellor of the exchequer's going after small tax payments' is the wordplay.
'chancellor of the exchequer' becomes 'ce' (I've seen this in other clues).
'going after' says to put letters next to each other.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'tax payments' becomes 'nic' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ce' after 's' is 'sce'.
'sce'+'nic'='SCENIC'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scenic that I've seen before include "Of route, having pleasent views" , "Offering pleasant views, say route" , "having a striking view" , "Providing beautiful views" , "Relating to the stage" .)
