Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'tax' (a government charge) + 'bill' (a document listing money owed) yields a document showing taxes owed, so the overall meaning follows straightforwardly from the parts. This noun–noun combination and its logic are cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Tax bill comes from the simple idea of a written bill, a paper that lists how much tax money you must pay. So a tax bill is the statement that shows the 'amount owed' in taxes.
