Morphology
The meaning 'an official valuation used to determine tax owed' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'tax' (a government charge) with 'assessment' (establishing monetary value); the noun+noun composition is straightforward and compositional. This is a common, cross-linguistic pattern (e.g., Spanish 'valoración fiscal'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to understand the MWE.
Etymology
Tax assessment comes from the idea of an official person who checks a house or your income and gives it a value called an assessment. That value helps the government decide 'how much tax' you must pay, so the phrase means an official valuation used to set taxes.
