Best Answer

A tax exempt bond is issued by a municipality. The tax exempt status is not a property of the bond itself but is a result of tax legislation regarding municipal bond interest as being tax exempt. The interest rates on the bonds (the amount paid to the bond holder) are usually lower than on corporate bonds but because of the tax exempt status the lower rate may or may not result in a higher after tax yield depending on the rates of the two bonds and the tax bracket of the bond holder.
