This looks like an average of 3.03% final take-home profit across 3 quarters, for Walmart.

This looks like average sales tax is 8.45%.

Sales taxes are not "government profit". Governments make zero profit on Walmart sales

Walmart's most profitable store is a post office box in Luxembourg. They shift their profits off-shore to avoid paying tax.

My original guess was Walmart, but Google suggests otherwise. In many states the sales tax is higher than Walmart's profit margin.
