What does the cryptic crossword clue "Payment to central government fund went on courses for the auditor? (4,3)" mean?

The definition is "Payment to central governm". The wordplay uses a homophone (sounds like). I think this is… sounds like (‘for the auditor’) ‘rode’=”went on” and ‘tacks’=”courses” ‘tack’=direction of movement=”course” or possibly ‘rowed tacks’ for “went on courses” The answer is ROADTAX.

Payment to central government fund went on courses for the auditor? (4,3)
