According to www.tn.gov/twra/licensefees.html "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." Huh? Somebody unconfuse me.

Yes, every box of ammo sold in TN has a 10 cent tax added to it. Walmart actually affixes a little sticker to boxes sold. The stickers look just like the stamps found on cigarettes. TWRA receives every cent of the tax and they use it for wildlife preservations as well as parks and shooting ranges.
This is one of the only taxes that gets used purely for public good and is never abused.

yup, any locally bought ammo will have the little tax sticker on it. and when you look at your receipt you'll see ammo tax on there.
