Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'tax' (a government charge) + 'benefit' (an advantage), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to an advantage or relief related to taxes (e.g. a deduction or exemption). This formation is cross-linguistically common and follows standard noun-noun composition, so despite some technical specifics, the core meaning is transparently accessible.
Etymology
Tax benefit comes from a simple image: the government gives you a small benefit by lowering or removing part of your tax bill to help or encourage certain activity. So, Tax benefit means a rule that reduces taxes to give 'financial relief' or to 'encourage' something.
