Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'tax' (a government charge) with 'system' (a formal set of rules or procedures) to denote the set of rules for assessing and collecting taxes. This noun–noun compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Tax system comes from the simple idea of two parts: tax (money people pay to the government) and system (a set of connected rules or parts). Think of a machine or team that follows steps to collect money, so tax system means the laws and steps a government uses 'to collect taxes'.
