Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'tax' (a government charge) combined with 'advantage' (a favorable circumstance) yields a benefit related to taxes. This head-modifier compound follows a common and cross-linguistically familiar pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words can reasonably infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Tax advantage comes from a simple picture: tax is the money you pay to the government and an advantage is something that helps or lowers a cost. So a tax advantage is 'a benefit that reduces the tax you owe'.
