CIGARETTE AND ROLL-YOUR-OWN TOBACCO REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS:
As part of the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) between cigarette manufacturers and the state of Missouri, the Missouri Department of Revenue is required to compile informa-
tion about cigarettes and roll-your-own tobacco purchased for sale in Missouri. Missouri’s participation in the MSA mandated legislation requires manufacturers who are not
signatories to the MSA to pay into an escrow account a sum roughly equivalent to that which is paid by the participating manufacturers. This legislation also requires the Missouri
Department of Revenue to gather information concerning purchases of cigarettes and roll-your-own tobacco that is manufactured/imported by non-participating manufacturers. This
information will be provided to the Missouri Attorney General for use in administering the MSA agreement.
Alternate Reports:
You may elect to design your own reports utilizing your own software or database. Alternate forms are permissible with the department’s approval as long as all the required infor-
mation is provided and in the same format as the wholesalers monthly report of cigarettes and roll-your-own tobacco.
