What does RETAX mean in Scrabble?
verb
To tax again, or to renew the annual duty on a vehicle.
In Britain the word is nearly always about a car: the paper disc went in 2014 but the yearly obligation did not, so to retax is what a driver does online each spring. The financial sense — charging the same thing a second time — is older and much rarer, and it shows up in argument rather than in description.
How RETAX is used
Transitive: retax the van. Chiefly British in the vehicle sense.
