A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus BASIC New York Municipal Money Market Fund, covering the six-month period from July 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.

The second half of 2013 proved challenging for most income-oriented investments, as a strengthening U.S. economy and expectations of a more moderately stimulative monetary policy drove longer term interest rates higher and bond prices lower. However, as they have been for the past several years, short-term interest rates and yields of money market instruments remained anchored near historical lows by an unchanged overnight federal funds rate.

We expect the domestic economy to continue to strengthen over the next year, particularly if U.S. fiscal policy is less restrictive and businesses and consumers spend more freely as economic uncertainty wanes. However, inflation is likely to remain muted, so U.S. monetary policy is likely to remain stimulative, and short-term interest rates appear likely to remain near current levels for some time to come. As always, we urge you to speak with your financial adviser to identify the investment strategies that are right for you.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation
January 15, 2014

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of July 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013, as provided by Bill Vasiliou, Portfolio Manager

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, Dreyfus BASIC New York Municipal Money Market Fund produced an annualized yield of 0.00%.Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund produced an annualized effective yield of 0.00%.¹

Despite rising long-term interest rates in a recovering economy, municipal money market yields remained anchored by an overnight federal funds rate between 0% and 0.25%.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal, New York state, and New York city income taxes to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.To pursue this objective, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in short-term high-quality municipal obligations that provide income exempt from federal, New York state, and New York city personal income taxes. We also actively manage the fund’s weighted average maturity in anticipation of interest-rate and supply-and-demand changes in NewYork’s short-term municipal marketplace.

The management of the fund’s weighted average maturity uses a more tactical approach. If we expect the supply of securities to increase temporarily, we may reduce the fund’s weighted average maturity to make cash available for the purchase of higher yielding securities, if such securities become available.This is due to the fact that yields tend to rise temporarily if issuers are competing for investor interest. If we expect demand to surge at a time when we anticipate little issuance and therefore lower yields, we may increase the fund’s weighted average maturity to maintain current yields for as long as we deem practical. At other times, we try to maintain a neutral weighted average maturity.

The Fund  3 

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Economic Recovery Gained Traction

Economic conditions continued to improve over the second half of 2013 as U.S. GDP accelerated from 2.5% during the second quarter of the year to a more robust 4.1% for the third quarter amid falling unemployment, rebounding housing markets, increased manufacturing activity, and a massive quantitative easing program from the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). Longer term interest rates climbed as the recovery progressed, but the Fed left short-term interest rates unchanged near historical lows.

Investors were surprised just weeks before the start of the reporting period when the Fed appeared ready to back away from its longstanding, aggressively accommodative monetary policy stance. Relatively hawkish remarks by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke were interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to curtail their quantitative easing program sooner than most analysts had expected. This development sent long-term rates sharply higher, and yield differences widened along the bond market’s maturity spectrum.

The tax-exempt note market continues to experience strong investor demand for securities issued by municipalities.Tax-exempt securities have been relatively attractive compared to maturity equivalent taxable securities and have continued to be an alternative for crossover buyers. Separately managed accounts and intermediate bond funds continue to purchase short-term municipal securities as the yield curve overnight through three years is relatively flat.The yield on one-year tier one securities continues to post historical low levels. Robust investor demand for VRDN’s has kept yields on this sector steady.The SIFMA Index, a weekly high grade market index comprised of seven-day tax-exempt variable rate demand notes produced by Municipal Market Data group, has averaged 0.10% year to date.

Despite a bankruptcy filing by the city of Detroit over the summer and media reports detailing Puerto Rico’s economic and fiscal woes in September, municipal credit quality generally continued to improve as tax revenues increased for most states and municipalities.The State of NewYork also fared relatively well, supported by balanced budgets enacted on time, improved finances, better spending controls, and well-funded pension liabilities.

4

Credit Selection Remained Paramount

Most municipal money market funds have maintained short weighted average maturities compared to historical averages due to narrow yield differences along the money market’s maturity range and ongoing regulatory uncertainty.The fund was no exception, as we maintained its weighted average maturity in a position that was consistent with industry averages.

Well-researched credit selection remained paramount during the reporting period. We continued to favor state general obligation bonds; essential service revenue bonds backed by water, sewer, and electric facilities; certain local credits with strong financial positions and stable tax bases; and health care and education issuers with stable credit characteristics.

Low Rates Likely to Persist

In December, the Fed made modest cuts in its monthly bond purchases, marking the first of what is expected to be a series of reductions in its quantitative easing program. However, the Fed also has made clear that short-term interest rates are likely to remain low for some time to come. Consequently, in our judgment, the prudent course continues to be an emphasis on preservation of capital and liquidity.

January 15, 2014

An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC 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.

Short-term municipal securities holdings involve credit and liquidity risks and risk of principal loss.

1 Annualized effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Past performance is no 

guarantee of future results. Yields fluctuate. Income may be subject to state and local taxes for non-New York 

residents, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. 

Yields provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to a voluntary 

undertaking that may be extended, terminated or modified at any time. Had these expenses not been absorbed, fund 

yields would have been lower.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. If your account balance is less than $50,000, your account may be subject to exchange fees, account closeout fees, and wire and Dreyfus TeleTransfer redemption fees each in the amount of $5.00, as well as a checkwriting fee of $2.00. None of these fees are shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

Review your fund’s expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus BASIC NewYork Municipal Money Market Fund from July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus BASIC New York Municipal Money Market Fund (the “fund”) is the sole series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company.The fund seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal, NewYork state and NewYork city income taxes to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge.

It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so.There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined by procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These 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).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

18

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2013 in valuing the fund’s investments:

	Short-Term
Valuation Inputs	Investments ($)†
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices	—
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs	120,326,532
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs	—
Total	120,326,532
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

At December 31, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended December 31, 2013, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended December 31, 2013, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the three-year period ended June 30, 2013 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was as follows: tax-exempt income $71 and ordinary income $4,605.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

NOTE 2—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with the Manager, the Manager provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund.The Manager also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Manager a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .45% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Manager pays

20

all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of non-interested Trustees (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees (including counsel fees). During the period ended December 31, 2013, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $3,386.

The Manager has undertaken to waive receipt of the management fee and/or reimburse operating expenses in order to facilitate a daily yield at or above a certain level which may change from time to time.This undertaking is voluntary and not contractual, and may be terminated at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $165,590 during the period ended December 31, 2013.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $46,380, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $27,241.

(b) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 3—Securities Transactions:

The fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board.The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the fund from or to another fund or portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common Trustees and/or common officers, complies with Rule 17a-7 under the Act. During the period ended December 31, 2013, the fund engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the Act amounting to $10,040,000 and $26,915,000, respectively.
