Morphology
Both constituents contribute transparently: 'tax' names the levy and 'boost' is commonly used to mean an increase or rise, so 'tax boost' naturally reads as an increase in taxes. This compound follows a standard noun+noun pattern for 'an increase in X' that is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Tax boost comes from putting tax and boost together: imagine giving the tax a push up so the government collects more money. That's why it means 'an increase in the amount of tax'.
