taxing

May I use "taxing" like a verb?
  

Top answer

Well, the verb is "to tax" (see any dictionary for definitions), so "taxing" is the present participle. For example: "The government is taxing us too much". Also, "taxing" can be an adjective, meaning "onerous", as in "This is a very taxing problem".
