Morphology
The meaning 'total income before deductions' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'gross' (total receipts before deductions) with 'sales' (revenue from selling goods or services). This compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common in accounting terms, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand the MWE.
Etymology
Gross sales paints a simple picture: a big pile of money from all sales before anything is taken away. Here gross means the whole amount and sales means money from selling, so gross sales means the 'total income' 'before deductions'.
