What does UNTAX mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To remove a tax from something, or to relieve a person of a burden or duty.
To untax goods or income means reversing a levy that had been placed on them, so that the payment is no longer owed. The word is also stretched, more loosely, to cover lifting any imposed burden, not only a financial one. It is built in the ordinary way, by putting the reversing prefix un- in front of the familiar verb tax.
