Morphology
The meaning 'a reduction in taxes' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'tax' (a government charge) with 'cut' (a reduction or cutback). This compositional noun-noun pattern is common across languages and in English usage, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Tax cut uses a simple image: tax is what people pay to the government and cut is to make something smaller, like cutting a number with scissors. That's why Tax cut means 'paying less in taxes'.
