Ammo Tax (10 cent tax/box)

[tdfirearms]

Since I buy my ammo online, do I need to pay the tax on the ammo? What happens if the ammo boxes don't have the stamp and they are seen by law enforcement or a game warden? Probably will not happen, but in my job I can not have ANYTHING on my record. I don't mind this tax because it goes directly to TWRA for their expenses.

Don't know about on-line purchases...probably so.

However, it's quite possible to have boxes of ammo without the TN 10-cent stamp on them. It's supposed to be applied to the
unit sold, so if you bought a case, there should only be a single 10-cent stamp on the case proper...not one on every smaller
subcontainer inside the case itself. WalMart has a bad habit of sticking 4 stamps on a 100-round "case" of shotgun shells...
but I bet you they only pay the 10 cents for the unit sold, and pocket the other 30 cents. But I digress...

Also, I've had the stamps fall off.

I really think you're worrying about nothing.

Just my opinion: that & 10 cents will pay the tax on a box of ammo!

I wonder say I, I do....

Is that $.10 tax supposed to apply per container of components as well as loaded ammo? I have seen the Tax stamp applied to bullets at various shops that sell reloading supplies.
