Ammo Tax Stamps

[MiddTennTaco]

After doing a great deal of searching on the forums, I couldn't find much information about this subject. I understand that there is a $0.10 tax stamp for each individual box of ammunition purchased locally. However, how exactly does it work if you buy ammunition out of state? It just seems like it would be a hassle I don't want to deal with. Perhaps I'll just buy local.

I did find this on the TWRA website:

State law requires that all persons, firms, and corporations engaged in the business of buying, selling, distributing, storing, receiving, having in possession or using shotgun shells or metallic cartridges, shall pay a special privilege tax in addition to all other taxes in an amount or equal to 10 cents per individual container on all center-fire ammunition, all shotgun shells, and rim-fire ammunition. For more information about Ammunition Tax Stamps and how to obtain them, please contact the TWRA Revenue Office at 1-800-648-8798.

P.S. This would probably make a great sticky if we get some information going.

Are you in the business of buying or selling ammunition?

[Guest canebreaker]

If you came here and bought ammo for your use, you would not have to report it to be taxed the $.10 per container.

If you ordered online anywhere but TN, you wouldn't pay the $.10 per container. BUT, if you ordered say a case of 9mm from wideners,

you'd have the $.10 tax per box added in the order.

Did I say that right?

just like sales tax if you buy from a dealer in tn thr dealer must put the stamp on the selling unit if you buy from another state you owe the tax to the state

That goes for anything bought out of state. You have to pay a use tax on anything you order online and have shipped to TN. Nobody does it but you're supposed to.

WA started forcing FFLs to collect the tax on interstate guns.
