What one must do: start to rake in payment in airport shop (4-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

duty-free

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

'shop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'what one must do start to rake in payment in airport' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'do' could be 'ut' (both can mean the first note in a musical scale) and 'ut' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for duty-free that I've seen before include "With exemption from customs tax" , "without obligation?" , "Exempt from import levy" , "Goods exempt from tax" , "Describing of a kind of airport shop" .)
