Morphology
The meaning is a straightforward composition of 'tax' (a government charge) + 'law' (a statute), so a learner who knows both words can readily infer it refers to laws governing taxes. This noun+noun compound is a common, cross-linguistically transparent pattern and thus should be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The noun tax law comes from a simple image: tax is the money people must pay to the government and law means the 'rules' that say what to do. So tax law is the set of rules about how taxes are figured out and collected.
