Fund Report (unaudited)

For the six months ended December 31, 2013

Market Conditions

For municipal governments in general, the economic picture began to brighten in 2013 but the recovery has been progressing at a slow pace. Fiscal strains have softened and many state and local governments have been able to achieve budgetary balance through a combination of cost cutting and revenue enhancement measures.

Municipal credit quality has continued to improve as most states and many local governments have recovered slowly from the recession. In particular, state general funds have shown consecutive quarters of growth in personal income tax and sales tax revenue, both important sources of revenue.

Preliminary data from the Rockefeller Institute indicate that while state tax revenue growth slowed in the third quarter of 2013, year-over-year growth was 6.1 percent and personal income tax revenue growth was 5.3 percent year-over-year. In most states, the overall trend in tax collections for fiscal year 2014 is expected to be positive.

Strong demand for Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs) has kept short-term tax-exempt rates steady. News in December that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would begin tapering its quantitative easing policy has not had a prominent impact on the short-term municipal market.

On the year, long-term municipal issuance fell 13 percent in 2013, Thomson Reuters numbers showed. For 2013, $329.8 billion reached the market in 11,267 deals, against $379.6 in 13,115 issues in 2012. Short-term variable-rate short-put issuance slowed 21.7 percent in 2013 to $13.9 billion down from $17.8 billion in 2012.

Performance Analysis

As of December 31, 2013, Active Assets Tax-Free Trust had net assets of approximately $9.2 billion and an average portfolio maturity of 33 days. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund provided a total return of 0.01 percent. For the seven-day period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund provided an effective annualized yield of 0.01 percent (subsidized) and –0.31 percent (non-subsidized) and a current yield of 0.01 percent (subsidized) and –0.32 percent (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average yield for December was 0.01 percent (subsidized) and –0.32 percent (non-subsidized). Yield quotations more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

In the current environment of near-zero interest rates and halting improvement in municipal economies, our strategy has placed an emphasis on maintaining high levels of liquidity with diligent oversight of credit quality, portfolio maturity and diversification. Daily and weekly VRDOs make up approximately two-thirds of the portfolio. An additional component is allocated to longer variable-rate securities and the balance of the portfolio is invested in tax-exempt commercial paper and fixed-rate municipal notes and short-maturity bonds. The portfolio’s weighted average maturity (WAM) and weighted average life (WAL) were 33 and 34 days, respectively, at month-end.

The tentative state of the economic recovery and the recent pressures in the long-term fixed income markets call for a watchful approach in the period ahead. We will carefully monitor developments on the

state and local government front. We believe that the Fed will maintain short-term interest rates at exceptionally low levels until there is clear evidence that the economy is on solid footing.

There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed herein or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future.

Investment Strategy

The Fund will invest in high quality, short-term securities that are normally municipal obligations that pay interest exempt from federal income taxes. The “Adviser” Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., seeks to maintain the Fund’s share price at $1.00. The Fund has a fundamental policy of investing at least 80 percent of its net assets in securities the interest on which is exempt from federal personal income tax. This policy may not be changed without shareholder approval. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 20 percent of its net assets in securities that pay interest income subject to the “alternative minimum tax,” and some taxpayers may have to pay tax on a Fund distribution of this income. For more information, please refer to the section of the Fund’s Prospectus entitled “Tax Consequences.”

An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

For More Information

About Portfolio Holdings

Each Morgan Stanley fund provides a complete schedule of portfolio holdings in its semiannual and annual reports within 60 days of the end of the fund’s second and fourth fiscal quarters. The semiannual reports and the annual reports are filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form N-CSRS and Form N-CSR, respectively. Morgan Stanley also delivers the semiannual and annual reports to fund shareholders and makes these reports available on its public web site, www.morganstanley.com. Each Morgan Stanley fund also files a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the fund’s first and

third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q and monthly holdings for each money market fund on Form N-MFP. Morgan Stanley does not deliver these reports to shareholders, nor are the first and third fiscal quarter reports posted to the Morgan Stanley public web site. However, the holdings for each money market fund are posted to the Morgan Stanley public web site. You may obtain the Form N-Q filings (as well as the Form N-CSR, N-CSRS and N-MFP filings) by accessing the SEC’s web site, http://www.sec.gov. You may also review and copy them at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the SEC’s public reference room may be obtained by calling the SEC at (800) SEC-0330. You can also request copies of these materials, upon payment of a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the SEC’s e-mail address (publicinfo@sec.gov) or by writing the public reference section of the SEC, Washington, DC 20549-1520.

Householding Notice

To reduce printing and mailing costs, the Fund attempts to eliminate duplicate mailings to the same address. The Fund delivers a single copy of certain shareholder documents, including shareholder reports, prospectuses and proxy materials, to investors with the same last name who reside at the same address. Your participation in this program will continue for an unlimited period of time unless you instruct us otherwise. You can request multiple copies of these documents by calling (800) 548-7786, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., ET. Once our Customer Service Center has received your instructions, we will begin sending individual copies for each account within 30 days.

Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur costs, including advisory fees, administration fees, distribution and services (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 07/01/13 – 12/31/13.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or exchange fees.


	Beginning Account Value		Ending Account Value		Expenses Paid During Period @
	07/01/13		12/31/13		07/01/13 – 12/31/13
Actual (0.01% return)	$	1,000.00	$	1,000.05	$	0.46
Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)	$	1,000.00	$	1,025.02	$	0.46

@	Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.09% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 186 ^@@ /365 (to reflect the one-half year period). If the fund had borne all of its expenses, the annualized expense ratio would have been 0.41%.

1. Organization and Accounting Policies

Active Assets Tax-Free Trust (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of daily income which is exempt from federal income tax consistent with stability of principal and liquidity. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 30, 1981 and commenced operations on July 7, 1981.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

A. Valuation of Investments — Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity. Investments in mutual funds, including the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds, are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day.

B. Accounting for Investments — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the respective securities and are included in interest income. Interest income is accrued daily as earned.

C. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the close of each business day. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid daily. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

D. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

E. Indemnifications — The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Fair Valuation Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the value that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from

Active Assets Tax-Free Trust

Notes to Financial Statements ⁿ December 31, 2013 (unaudited) continued

sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs); and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

•

Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

•

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each security.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2013.


INVESTMENT TYPE	LEVEL 1 UNADJUSTED QUOTED PRICES		LEVEL 2 OTHER SIGNIFICANT OBSERVABLE INPUTS		LEVEL 3 SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS		TOTAL
Assets:
Weekly Variable Rate Bonds	$	—	$	5,765,565,000	$	—	$	5,765,565,000
Daily Variable Rate Bonds		—		1,086,830,000		—		1,086,830,000
Municipal Bonds & Notes		—		869,616,786		—		869,616,786
Put Option Bonds		—		555,490,000		—		555,490,000
Commercial Paper		—		440,755,000		—		440,755,000
Closed-End Investment Companies		—		417,200,000		—		417,200,000
Floating Rate Notes		—		74,000,000		—		74,000,000
Total Assets	$	—	$	9,209,456,786	$	—	$	9,209,456,786

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of December 31, 2013, the Fund did not have any investments transfer between investment levels.

3. Advisory/Administration Agreements

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), the Fund pays the Adviser an advisory fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the following annual rates to the net assets of the Fund determined as of the close of each business day: 0.45% to the portion of the daily net assets not exceeding $500 million; 0.375% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $500 million but not exceeding $750 million; 0.325% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $750 million but not exceeding $1 billion; 0.30% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $1 billion but not exceeding $1.5 billion; 0.275% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $1.5 billion but not exceeding $2 billion; 0.25% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $2 billion but not exceeding $2.5 billion; 0.225% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $2.5 billion but not exceeding $3 billion; 0.20% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $3 billion but not exceeding $15 billion; and 0.199% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $15 billion. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, the advisory fee rate (net of waivers/rebate) was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.02% of the Fund’s daily net assets.

Pursuant to an Administration Agreement with Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of the Adviser, the Fund pays an administration fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the annual rate of 0.05% to the Fund’s daily net assets.

Under a Sub-Administration Agreement between the Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), State Street provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator pays State Street a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Fund.

4. Plan of Distribution

Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser and Administrator, is the distributor of the Fund’s shares and in accordance with a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, finances certain expenses in connection with the promotion of sales of Fund shares.

Reimbursements for these expenses are made in monthly payments by the Fund to the Distributor, which will in no event exceed an amount equal to a payment at the annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets during the month. Expenses incurred by the Distributor pursuant to the Plan in any fiscal year will not be reimbursed by the Fund through payments accrued in any subsequent fiscal year. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, the distribution fee was accrued at the annual rate of 0.10%.

The Distributor, Adviser and Administrator have agreed to waive and/or reimburse all or a portion of the Fund’s distribution fee, advisory fee and administration fee, respectively, to the extent that total expenses exceed total income of the Fund on a daily basis. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, the Distributor waived $4,605,453, and the Adviser waived $9,987,259. These fee waivers and/or expense

Active Assets Tax-Free Trust

Notes to Financial Statements ⁿ December 31, 2013 (unaudited) continued

reimbursements will continue for at least one year or until such time that the Fund’s Board of Trustees, (the “Trustees”), act to discontinue all or a portion of such waivers and/or expense reimbursements when it deems such action is appropriate.

5. Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund invests in the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Funds”), an open-end management investment company managed by the Adviser. Advisory fees paid by the Fund are reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Funds. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, advisory fees paid were reduced by $15,865 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Funds.

A summary of the Fund’s transactions in shares of the Liquidity Funds during the six months ended December 31, 2013 is as follows:


VALUE JUNE 30, 2013		PURCHASES AT COST		SALES		DIVIDEND INCOME		VALUE DECEMBER 31, 2013
$	115,600,000	$	618,800,000	$	734,400,000	$	4,496		—

The Fund has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering certain independent Trustees of the Fund who will have served as independent Trustees for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on factors which include years of service and compensation. The Trustees voted to close the plan to new participants and eliminate the future benefits growth due to increases to compensation after July 31, 2003. Aggregate pension costs for the six months ended December 31, 2013, included in “Trustees’ fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations amounted to $2,740. At December 31, 2013, the Fund had an accrued pension liability of $59,620, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other payables” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund has an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”), which allows each independent Trustee to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she receives for serving on the Board of Trustees. Each eligible Trustee generally may elect to have the deferred amounts credited with a return equal to the total return on one or more of the Morgan Stanley funds that are offered as investment options under the Compensation Plan. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund.

6. Shares of Beneficial Interest

Transactions in shares of beneficial interest, at $1.00 per share, were as follows:


	FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013			FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013
	(unaudited)
Shares sold		11,772,650,967			25,391,056,109
Shares issued in reinvestment of dividends and distributions		460,622			880,014

		11,773,111,589			25,391,936,123
Shares redeemed		(11,530,277,804	)		(24,969,294,652	)

Net increase in shares outstanding		242,833,785			422,641,471

7. Federal Income Tax Status

It is the Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.

FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes — Overall, sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in ‘‘Other Expenses” in the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended June 30, 2013, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during fiscal 2013 and 2012 was as follows:


2013 DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:			2012 DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:
TAX-EXEMPT INCOME	ORDINARY INCOME	LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN	TAX-EXEMPT INCOME	ORDINARY INCOME	LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN
$861,351	$14,200	$4,463	$813,863	$9,816	$76,545

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.

Active Assets Tax-Free Trust

Notes to Financial Statements ⁿ December 31, 2013 (unaudited) continued

Temporary differences are attributable to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of gains (losses) on certain investment transactions and the timing of the deductibility of certain expenses.

Permanent differences, due to deferred compensation, resulted in the following reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets at June 30, 2013:


ACCUMULATED UNDISTRIBUTED NET INVESTMENT INCOME	ACCUMULATED UNDISTRIBUTED NET REALIZED GAIN	PAID-IN-CAPITAL
$(582)	$582	—

At June 30, 2013, the components of distributable earnings for the Fund on a tax basis were as follows:


UNDISTRIBUTED TAX-EXEMPT INCOME	UNDISTRIBUTED ORDINARY INCOME	UNDISTRIBUTED LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN
$250,542	$3,260	$73,499

At December 31, 2013, the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is the same as the cost for book purposes.

8. Accounting Pronouncement

In June 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-08 Financial Services — Investment Companies (Topic 946) — Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”) which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. ASU 2013-08 sets forth a methodology for determining whether an entity should be characterized as an investment company and prescribes fair value accounting for an investment company’s non-controlling ownership interest in another investment company. FASB has determined that a fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 automatically meets ASU 2013-08’s criteria for an investment company. Although still evaluating the potential impacts of ASU 2013-08 to the Fund, management expects that the impact of the Fund’s adoption will be limited to additional financial statement disclosures.

An Important Notice Concerning Our U.S. Privacy Policy

This privacy notice describes the U.S. privacy policy of Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc., and the Morgan Stanley family of mutual funds (“us”, “our”, “we”).

We are required by federal law to provide you with notice of our U.S. privacy policy (“Policy”). This Policy applies to both our current and former clients unless we state otherwise and is intended for individual clients who purchase products or receive services from us for personal, family or household purposes. This Policy is not applicable to partnerships, corporations, trusts or other non-individual clients or account holders, nor is this Policy applicable to individuals who are either beneficiaries of a trust for which we serve as trustee or participants in an employee benefit plan administered or advised by us. This Policy is, however, applicable to individuals who select us to be a custodian of securities or assets in individual retirement accounts, 401(k) accounts, or accounts subject to the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act.

This notice sets out our business practices to protect your privacy; how we collect and share personal information about you; and how you can limit our sharing or certain uses by others of this information. We may amend this Policy at any time, and will inform you of any changes to our Policy as required by law.

We Respect Your Privacy

We appreciate that you have provided us with your personal financial information and understand your concerns about your information. We strive to safeguard the information our clients entrust to us. Protecting the confidentiality and security of client information is an important part of how we conduct our business.

This notice describes what personal information we collect about you, how we collect it, when we may share it with others, and how certain others may use it. It discusses the steps you may take to limit our sharing of certain information about you with our affiliated companies, including, but not limited to our affiliated banking businesses, brokerage firms and credit service affiliates. It also discloses how you may limit our affiliates’ use of shared information for marketing purposes.

Throughout this Policy, we refer to the nonpublic information that personally identifies you as “personal information.” We also use the term “affiliated company” in this notice. An affiliated company is a company in our family of companies and includes companies with the Morgan Stanley name. These affiliated companies are financial institutions such as broker-dealers, banks, investment advisers and credit card issuers. We refer to any company that is not an affiliated company as a nonaffiliated third party. For purposes of Section 5 of this notice, and your ability to limit certain uses of personal information by our affiliates, this notice applies to the use of personal information by our affiliated companies.
