Morphology
The meaning 'income collected by a government' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'government' (the governing institution) with 'revenue' (income/receipts). This simple noun–noun compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows expected semantic combination, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Government revenue joins government (the people who run a country) and revenue meaning 'income that comes in', like water flowing into a public chest. So government revenue is the money that flows into the public chest to pay for schools, roads and services.
