In 1998 the state of Iowa entered into an agreement with cigarette manufacturers called the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA). Subsequent to entering into that agreement, in 1999 the Iowa general assembly enacted Iowa Code chapter 453C. The statute requires the department of revenue to promulgate regulations to ascertain the amount of excise tax paid on cigarettes sold by nonparticipating tobacco product manufacturers in Iowa each year.
