Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'tax' (a government charge) + 'increase' (a rise) yields 'a rise in taxes', which a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer. This noun–noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern (modifier + head) and contains no idiomatic or metaphorical shift, so it is transparent.
Etymology
Tax increase gives a simple picture: the government makes the amount of tax go up, and increase means 'to make more'. So, tax increase means 'more tax from the government'.
