Morphology

declaration + of + estimate + tax

The phrase denotes a formal statement (declaration) that gives an approximate amount (estimated) of a government charge (tax), so its overall meaning is directly derivable from the constituent words and standard noun + prepositional phrase composition. This is a transparent, technical compound found across languages (e.g., declarations/estimates for tax), so a B1 learner who knows the parts would likely grasp the basic meaning even without detailed procedural knowledge.

Etymology

Declaration of estimated tax comes from the idea of making a formal declaration — a written 'guess' about your future estimated tax. So, it is the official form you file to tell the tax office how much you expect to owe and to pay part of it in advance.
