I've just done an old Guardian cryptic crossword with the clue:

"If victory's British, I'm Batman!"

The answer is "Tax Collector"

I haven't the faintest idea how the clue leads to the answer; any ideas?

Regards

if you replace victory = V with british = B in VATMAN you end up with BATMAN so the answer is synonymous with VATMAN
