tax free investingTax free investing is available through some selected financial products. Many of the financial products that are tax-free are bonds. This is because the collector of taxes, that is to say the government, is also a big borrower of money through bonds. And by making some selected issues tax-free, the return to the investor improves and the bond is easier to sell to the public. Also, government can promote certain causes and issues in the society by making the gains on the financial products (usually bonds) associated with funding their operations tax free. Tax free investments are one area where financial consultants are really beneficial. This has to do with the complex taxation issues involved with tax free investments.
