I did want to add one more answer that utilizes a VBA function, but it does get the job done in one SQL statement. Though, it can be slow.

UPDATE FUNCTIONS
SET FUNCTIONS.Func_TaxRef = DLookUp("MinOfTax_Code", "SELECT
FUNCTIONS.Func_ID,Min(TAX.Tax_Code) AS MinOfTax_Code
FROM TAX, FUNCTIONS
WHERE (((FUNCTIONS.Func_Pure)<=[Tax_ToPrice]) AND ((FUNCTIONS.Func_Year)=[Tax_Year]))
GROUP BY FUNCTIONS.Func_ID;", "FUNCTIONS.Func_ID=" & Func_ID)
