Morphology
The meaning is directly built from the constituents: 'capital' (money/assets) + 'gains' (profits) + 'tax' (government charge), so 'a tax on profits from capital' is predictable from the parts. Although somewhat technical, the modifier + noun + tax pattern (X tax) is common cross‑linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the component words and context will typically infer the meaning.
Etymology
Capital gains tax comes from the words capital, meaning your money or things you own, and gains, meaning the extra money you get when you sell them. So, capital gains tax is a tax on the 'profit' you make when you sell assets like stocks or a house.
