Municipal governments are typically exempt from state sales taxes because they are considered governmental entities, which means their purchases for public use are not subject to sales tax. Additionally, they are often exempt from federal excise taxes, particularly when it comes to purchases related to their governmental functions. However, the specific exemptions can vary by state and the nature of the transaction, so it's important to consult local laws for detailed information.

wHA ARE tAXABLE mUNICIPAL bONDS Are they suitable for IRA investments. Why are they issued compared to Tax Exempt Municipal Bonds?

Taxable municipal bonds are bonds issued by governments (municipal bonds) that are NON-tax exempt (most munis are.) They are often better for IRA investments than tax-exempt bonds because they tend to pay higher interest rates and IRAs are tax exempt anyway. They are issued for a variety of reasons (often, they don't count against a bond issuers' cap) but, in part, because they are a good investment vehicle for IRAs and other tax exempt accounts.
