Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax

The Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax is a federal tax imposed on the sale of firearms and ammunition in the United States. This tax is part of the broader excise tax law, which applies to specific goods and services. Manufacturers and importers pay a percentage of the sales price, and this revenue supports wildlife restoration and conservation efforts. Essentially, when you purchase a gun or ammunition, a portion of that cost contributes to funding projects aimed at preserving natural habitats and promoting sustainable wildlife management.
