Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit vankampen.com or speak with your financial advisor. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The returns shown in this report do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance of share classes will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses. Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of the maximum sales charge of 4.75 percent for Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00 percent for Class B shares (in year one and declining to zero after year six), a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00 percent for Class C shares in year one and combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees of up to 0.25 percent for Class A shares and up to 1.00 percent for Class B and C shares. The since inception and 10-year returns for Class B shares reflect their conversion into Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class I shares are available for purchase exclusively by investors through (i) tax-exempt retirement plans with assets of at least $1 million (including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans), (ii) fee-based investment programs with assets of at least $1 million, (iii) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, (iv) institutional clients with assets of at least $1 million and (v) certain Van Kampen investment companies. Class I shares are offered without any sales charges on purchases or sales and do not include combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Periods less than one year are not annualized.

Fund Report

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2008

Market Conditions

The broad financial markets were highly volatile throughout the reporting period as the credit crisis intensified, the housing market continued to decline, inflationary pressures grew and the economy appeared headed into recession. In early September 2008, investor confidence plummeted and the markets began a downward spiral following the government’s takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. In the weeks that followed, several other financial institutions were forced into mergers, rescued by government loans, or failed altogether as the value of their assets severely eroded. The credit markets became paralyzed as banks refused to lend while investors fled risky assets in favor of Treasury securities. In an effort to unlock the credit markets the Federal government interceded with various supportive measures including a $700 billion bailout plan.

The municipal bond market had already been under pressure for several months prior to September, due in part to the credit rating downgrades of various monoline bond insurers and the deterioration of the auction rate and variable rate markets. The failure of Lehman Brothers, however, prompted a wave of forced selling in the municipal market as leveraged buyers, mutual funds and brokerage firms began deleveraging, putting significant pressure on prices and severely eroding liquidity. As a result, municipal yields rose, particularly on the long end of the yield curve, far exceeding those of comparable Treasuries by the end of the period. For the third quarter of 2008, the short end of the curve outperformed the long end by roughly 870 basis points. The disparity in performance was even greater over the one-year reporting period as the short end outperformed by more than 1,400 basis points. As would be expected in the risk-averse and volatile environment, higher-quality municipal bonds outperformed lower-quality issues. For the overall period, high yield municipal spreads widened from approximately 165 basis points to 305 basis points.

Performance Analysis

All share classes of Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund underperformed the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index for the 12 months ended September 30, 2008, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.

The performance for the four share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Fund’s total return figures assume the reinvestment of all distributions, but do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. Such costs would lower performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. See Performance Summary for standardized performance information and index definition.

The Fund’s yield-curve positioning detracted from relative performance for the reporting period. We favored longer maturity bonds in an effort to enhance the Fund’s yield. Unfortunately, this emphasis on the long end of the municipal yield curve was disadvantageous as the short end of the curve outperformed for the overall period. The Fund’s overweight to triple-B rated issues hindered performance as the flight to quality that persisted throughout most of the period led higher-rated bonds to outpace lower-rated bonds. Additionally, holdings in tobacco, health care, and housing bonds detracted from returns due to ongoing spread widening in the sectors. It should be noted that over the course of the period, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to the long end of the municipal curve, reduced holdings in lower quality insured issues, and trimmed exposure to the tobacco sector. These actions improved the quality of the portfolio and may help position the Fund for a more volatile market over the next few quarters.

Holdings in municipal auction rate securities with zero duration (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) were beneficial to performance as the yields on these securities remained well above those of long-maturity municipal bonds. Holdings of general obligation bonds were also beneficial to performance as this stable, higher-quality sector held up well over the period.

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.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A Shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and C Shares; and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (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.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 4/1/08-9/30/08.

Actual Expense

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 account values and 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 and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or contingent deferred sales charges or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

Both the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement require that the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and its investment adviser be approved annually both by a majority of the Board of Trustees and by a majority of the independent trustees voting separately.

At meetings held on April 15, 2008 and May 8, 2008, the Board of Trustees, and the independent trustees voting separately, considered and ultimately determined that the terms of the investment advisory agreement are fair and reasonable and approved the continuance of the investment advisory agreement as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In making its determination, the Board of Trustees considered materials that were specifically prepared by the investment adviser at the request of the Board and Fund counsel, and by an independent provider of investment company data contracted to assist the Board, relating to the investment advisory agreement review process. The Board also considered information received periodically about the portfolio, performance, the investment strategy, portfolio management team and fees and expenses of the Fund. The Board of Trustees considered the investment advisory agreement over a period of several months and the trustees held sessions both with the investment adviser and separate from the investment adviser in reviewing and considering the investment advisory agreement.

In approving the investment advisory agreement, the Board of Trustees considered, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the investment adviser, the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund compared to other similar funds and other products, the investment adviser’s expenses in providing the services and the profitability of the investment adviser and its affiliated companies. The Board of Trustees considered the extent to which any economies of scale experienced by the investment adviser are shared with the Fund’s shareholders, and the propriety of existing and alternative breakpoints in the Fund’s investment advisory fee schedule. The Board of Trustees considered comparative advisory fees of the Fund and other investment companies and/or other products at different asset levels, and considered the trends in the industry versus historical and projected assets of the Fund. The Board of Trustees evaluated other benefits the investment adviser and its affiliates derive from their relationship with the Fund. The Board of Trustees reviewed information about the foregoing factors and considered changes, if any, in such information since its previous approval. The Board of Trustees discussed the financial strength of the investment adviser and its affiliated companies and the capability of the personnel of the investment adviser, and specifically the strength and background of its portfolio management personnel. The Board of Trustees reviewed the statutory and regulatory requirements for approval and disclosure of investment advisory agreements. The Board of Trustees, including the independent trustees, evaluated all of the foregoing and does not believe any single factor or group of factors control or dominate the review process, and,

after considering all factors together, has determined, in the exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the investment advisory agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The following summary provides more detail on certain matters considered but does not detail all matters considered.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided. On a regular basis, the Board of Trustees considers the roles and responsibilities of the investment adviser as a whole and for those specific portfolio management, support and trading functions servicing the Fund. The trustees discuss with the investment adviser the resources available and used in managing the Fund and changes made in the Fund’s portfolio management team and the Fund’s portfolio management strategy over time. The Fund discloses information about its portfolio management team members and their experience in its prospectus. The trustees also discuss certain other services which are provided on a cost-reimbursement basis by the investment adviser or its affiliates to the Van Kampen funds including certain accounting, administrative and legal services. The Board has determined that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the investment adviser support its decision to approve the investment advisory agreement.

Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Fund. On a regular basis, the Board of Trustees reviews the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund compared to its peers and to appropriate benchmarks. In addition, the Board spends more focused time on the performance of the Fund and other funds in the Van Kampen complex, paying specific attention to underperforming funds. The trustees discuss with the investment adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Fund. When considering a fund’s performance, the trustees and the investment adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term returns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year performance with special attention to three-year performance) and, when a fund’s weighted performance is under the fund’s benchmark, they discuss the causes and where necessary seek to make specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel. The Fund discloses more information about its performance elsewhere in this report and in the Fund’s prospectus. The trustees discuss with the investment adviser the level of advisory fees for this Fund relative to comparable funds and other products advised by the adviser and others in the marketplace. The trustees review not only the advisory fees but other fees and expenses (whether paid to the adviser, its affiliates or others) and the Fund’s overall expense ratio. The Fund discloses more information about its fees and expenses in its prospectus. The Board has determined that the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund support its decision to approve the investment advisory agreement.

Investment Adviser’s Expenses in Providing the Service and Profitability. At least annually, the trustees review the investment adviser’s expenses in providing services to the Fund and other funds advised by the investment adviser and the

profitability of the investment adviser. These profitability reports are put together by the investment adviser with the oversight of the Board. The trustees discuss with the investment adviser its revenues and expenses, including among other things, revenues for advisory services, portfolio management-related expenses, revenue sharing arrangement costs and allocated expenses both on an aggregate basis and per fund. The Board has determined that the analysis of the investment adviser’s expenses and profitability support its decision to approve the investment advisory agreement.

Economies of Scale. On a regular basis, the Board of Trustees considers the size and growth prospects of the Fund and how that relates to the Fund’s expense ratio and particularly the Fund’s advisory fee rate. In conjunction with its review of the investment adviser’s profitability, the trustees discuss with the investment adviser how more (or less) assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Fund’s portfolio and whether the advisory fee level is appropriate relative to current and projected asset levels and/or whether the advisory fee structure reflects economies of scale as asset levels change. The Board has determined that its review of the actual and potential economies of scale of the Fund support its decision to approve the investment advisory agreement.

Other Benefits of the Relationship. On a regular basis, the Board of Trustees considers other benefits to the investment adviser and its affiliates derived from its relationship with the Fund and other funds advised by the investment adviser. These benefits include, among other things, fees for transfer agency services provided to the funds, in certain cases research received by the adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds’ portfolio trading, and in certain cases distribution or service related fees related to funds’ sales. The trustees review with the investment adviser each of these arrangements and the reasonableness of its costs relative to the services performed. The Board has determined that the other benefits received by the investment adviser or its affiliates support its decision to approve the investment advisory agreement.

Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes, with liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of insured municipal securities. The Fund commenced investment operations on December 14, 1984. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class-specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Security Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

B. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a “when-issued” or “delayed delivery” basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Fund will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. At September 30, 2008, the Fund had $890,000 of when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments.

C. Income and Expenses Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and discount is accreted over the expected life of each applicable security. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.

Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

for federal income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on March 31, 2008. FIN 48 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. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended September 30, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset these losses against any future realized capital gains. At September 30, 2008, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $8,200,776 which will expire according to the following schedule:


Amount		Expiration

$	210,390		September 30, 2015
	7,990,386		September 30, 2016

At September 30, 2008, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:


Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	872,267,693

Gross tax unrealized appreciation	$	10,899,413
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(65,189,802	)

Net tax unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(54,290,389	)

E. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund declares daily and pays monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains, which are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:


	2008		2007

Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	90,745	$	368,719
Tax-exempt income		42,474,190		41,829,550
Long-term capital gain		-0-		3,333,429

	$	42,564,935	$	45,531,698

Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

Permanent differences, primarily due to the Fund’s investment in other regulated investment companies, resulted in the following reclassification among the Fund’s components of net assets at September 30, 2008:


Accumulated Undistributed			Accumulated Net
Net Investment Income			Realized Loss		Capital

$	(65,159	)	$	65,159	$	-0-

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income	$	27,581
Undistributed tax-exempt income		3,985,891

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of post-October losses of $65,205,726 which are not recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year.

F. Insurance Expense The Fund typically invests in insured bonds. Any portfolio securities not specifically covered by a primary insurance policy are insured secondarily through the Fund’s portfolio insurance policy. Insurance premiums are based on the daily balances of uninsured bonds in the portfolio of investments and are charged to expense on an accrual basis. The insurance policy guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the securities in the Fund’s portfolio.

G. Credits Earned on Cash Balances During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s custody fee was reduced by $33,608 as a result of credits earned on cash balances.

H. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interest in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Fund enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Fund to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investments assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Fund’s Statement

of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At September 30, 2008, Fund investments with a value of $113,999,091 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $85,610,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at September 30, 2008 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the year ended September 30, 2008 were $176,245,000 and 3.15%, respectively.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) will provide investment advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:


Average Daily Net Assets	% Per Annum

First $500 million		0.525%
Next $500 million		0.500%
Next $500 million		0.475%
Over $1.5 billion		0.450%

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $28,900 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a trustee of the Fund is a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provide legal services as legal counsel to the Fund.

Under separate Legal Services, Accounting Services and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Employment agreements, the Adviser provides accounting and legal services and the CCO provides compliance services to the Fund. The costs of these services are allocated to each fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $106,900 representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.’s or its affiliates’ (collectively “Van Kampen”) cost of providing accounting and legal services to the Fund, as well as the salary, benefits and related costs of the CCO and related support staff paid by Van Kampen. Services provided pursuant to the Legal Services agreement are reported as part of “Professional Fees” on the Statement of Operations. Services provided pursuant to the Accounting Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $295,900 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. The transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are also officers of Van Kampen.

Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a ten-year period and are based upon each trustee’s years of service to the Fund. The maximum annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, Van Kampen, as Distributor for the Fund, received commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A Shares of approximately $100,700 and contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redeemed shares of approximately $43,300.

4. Redemption Fee

Until November 3, 2008, the Fund will assess a 2% redemption fee on the proceeds of Fund shares that are redeemed (either by sale or exchange) within seven days of purchase. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Fund and allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund received redemption fees of approximately $1,700, which are reported as part of “Cost of Shares Repurchased” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The per share impact from redemption fees paid to the

Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

Fund was less than $0.01. The redemption fee will no longer be applied after November 3, 2008.

5. Investment Transactions

During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $653,190,306 and $869,129,543, respectively.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.

The Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect the Fund against possible changes in the market value of its portfolio and to manage the portfolio’s effective yield, maturity and duration. All of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is generally recognized. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments used by the Fund.

A. Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The Fund generally invests in exchange traded futures contracts on U.S. Treasury Bonds or Notes for duration and risk management purposes and typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a futures commission merchant pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940 Act, or with its custodian in an account in the broker’s name. This amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Transactions in futures contracts for the year ended September 30, 2008, were as follows:


	Contracts

Outstanding at September 30, 2007		1,926
Futures Opened		2,435
Futures Closed		(4,361	)

Outstanding at September 30, 2008		-0-

Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

leverage embedded in them and therefore involve many of the risks associated with leverage. Leverage is a speculative technique that may expose the Fund to greater risk and increased costs. Leverage may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged because leverage tends to magnify the effect of any increases or decreases in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations with respect to inverse floating rate instruments.

7. Distribution and Service Plans

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Van Kampen Funds Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to compensate the Distributor for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to .25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets. These fees are accrued daily and paid to the Distributor monthly.

The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (“unreimbursed receivable”) was approximately $646,000 and $67,200 for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. These amounts may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed receivable has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.

8. 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.

9. Accounting Pronouncement

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2008, the Adviser does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain measurements reported on the Statement of Operations for a fiscal period.

On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund (one of the Funds constituting the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust (the “Fund”)) as of September 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust at September 30, 2008, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Welcome, Shareholder

In this report, you’ll learn about how your investment in Van Kampen Strategic Municipal Income Fund performed during the annual period. The portfolio management team will provide an overview of the market conditions and discuss some of the factors that affected investment performance during the reporting period. In addition, this report includes the fund’s financial statements and a list of fund investments as of September 30, 2008.

This material must be preceded or accompanied by a Class A, B, and C share or Class I share prospectus for the fund being offered. The prospectus contains information about the fund, including the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. To obtain an additional prospectus, contact your financial advisor or download one at vankampen.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass. There is no assurance that the fund will achieve its investment objective. The fund is subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the fund will decline and, therefore, the value of fund shares may be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this fund.

Income may subject certain individuals to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

Performance Summary as of 9/30/08

This chart compares your fund’s performance to that of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index from 9/30/98 through 9/30/08. Class A shares adjusted for sales charges.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit vankampen.com or speak with your financial advisor. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of the maximum sales charge of 4.75 percent for Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00 percent for Class B shares (in year one and declining to zero after year six), a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00 percent for Class C shares in year one and combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees of up to 0.25 percent for Class A shares and up to 1.00 percent for Class B and C shares. The since inception and 10-year returns for Class B shares reflect the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class I shares are available for purchase exclusively by investors through (i) tax-exempt retirement plans with assets of at least $1 million (including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employersponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans), (ii) fee-based investment programs with assets of at least $1 million, (iii) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, (iv) institutional clients with assets of at least $1 million and (v) certain Van Kampen investment companies. Class I shares are offered without any sales charges on purchases or sales and do not include combined rule 12b-1 fees and service fees. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Periods less than one year are not annualized. SEC yield is a calculation for determining the amount of portfolio income, excluding non-income items as prescribed by the SEC. Yields are subject to change.

The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is generally representative of investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds. The index does not include any expenses, fees or sales charges, which would lower performance. The index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Market Conditions

Performance Analysis

Class A, B and C shares of Van Kampen Strategic Municipal Income Fund underperformed the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index for the 12 months ended September 30, 2008, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.

Total returns for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2008


									Lehman Brothers
Class A			Class B			Class C			Municipal Bond Index

	-10.19	%		-10.88	%		-10.87	%		-1.87	%

Share classes listed above represent classes with the full 12 month period total returns to report. Class I shares commenced operations on December 19, 2007 and therefore are not listed on the table above.

The performance for the share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Fund’s total return figures assume the reinvestment of all distributions, but do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. Such costs would lower performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. See Performance Summary for standardized performance information and index definition.

The Fund’s investment focus on higher-yielding, lower- and non-rated municipal bonds was the primary detractor from performance relative to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which is comprised entirely of investment-grade issues. The risk-averse environment and market-wide flight to quality that persisted throughout the reporting period pushed high-yield spreads dramatically wider. Over the course of the period, the Fund’s allocation to non-rated securities rose by roughly 25 percent, due primarily to our reduction in holdings of inverse floating-rate securities in favor of traditional high-yield bonds. The credit rating downgrades of various monoline bond insurers was hindering the performance of the inverse floating-rate securities. Therefore, we trimmed holdings in these higher quality securities and invested the proceeds in traditional high yield municipal bonds which had become much more attractively priced.

Holdings of hospital, special tax, and life care bonds, which are the Fund’s top three sectors, also hindered performance. Although spreads widened in virtually every sector of the municipal market, these sectors were particularly hard hit. The Fund’s exposure to tobacco bonds also detracted, but the allocation to the sector was comparatively smaller at approximately six percent of holdings as of the end of the reporting period.

The Fund’s holdings in pre-refunded bonds, however, were additive to returns for the period. These triple-A rated, short-maturity securities benefited from the outperformance of the high-quality sector of the market and the front end of the yield curve.

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.

Van Kampen Strategic Municipal Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen Strategic Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide investors a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of medium- and lower-grade municipal securities. The Fund commenced investment operations on June 28, 1985. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class-specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class.

A. Security Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

B. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. Legal expenditures that are expected to result in the restructuring of or a plan of reorganization for an investment are recorded as realized losses. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a ”when-issued” or ”delayed delivery” basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Fund will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. At September 30, 2008, the Fund had $6,471,290 of when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.

D. Federal Income Taxes It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and

Van Kampen Strategic Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (”FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (”FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on March 31, 2008. FIN 48 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. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended September 30, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset these losses against any future realized capital gains. At September 30, 2008, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $121,582,967, which will expire according to the following schedule:


Amount		Expiration

$	10,147,307		September 30, 2009
	16,221,240		September 30, 2010
	22,472,916		September 30, 2011
	3,607,121		September 30, 2012
	28,957,443		September 30, 2013
	24,197,373		September 30, 2014
	6,419,495		September 30, 2015
	9,560,072		September 30, 2016

At September 30, 2008, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation are as follows:


Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	1,448,882,449

Gross tax unrealized appreciation	$	11,968,309
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(202,635,902	)

Net tax unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(190,667,593	)

E. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund declares daily and pays monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.

Van Kampen Strategic Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:


	2008		2007
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	48,797	$	195,125
Tax-exempt income		78,737,727		82,599,666

	$	78,786,524	$	82,794,791

Permanent differences, primarily due to capital loss of $9,610,374 expired in current year, resulted in the following reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets at September 30, 2008:


Accumulated Undistributed Net			Accumulated Net Realized
Investment Income			Loss		Capital

$	(31,752	)	$	9,642,126	$	(9,610,374	)

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income	$	204,490
Undistributed tax-exempt income		6,214,159

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial and tax reporting purposes primarily as a result of the capitalization of reorganization and restructuring costs, and post October losses of $30,543,541 which are not recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year.

F. Credit Earned on Cash Balances During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s custody fee was reduced by $16,934 as a result of credits earned on cash balances.

Van Kampen Strategic Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

dealer trusts under the caption ”Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trust have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At September 30, 2008, Fund investments with a value of $147,602,101 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $108,450,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at September 30, 2008 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 were $170,962,141 and 3.04%, respectively.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset management (“the Adviser”) will provide investment advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:


Average Daily Net Assets	% Per Annum

First $500 million		.50%
Over $500 million		.45%

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $40,800 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a trustee of the Fund is a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provide legal services as legal counsel to the Fund.

Under separate Legal Services, Accounting Services, and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Employment agreements, the Adviser provides accounting and legal services and the CCO provides compliance services to the Fund. The costs of these services are allocated to each fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $148,800 representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.’s or its affiliates’ (collectively “Van Kampen”) cost of providing accounting and legal services to the Fund, as well as the salary, benefits and related costs of the CCO and related support staff paid by Van Kampen. Services provided pursuant to the Legal Services agreement are reported as part of “Professional Fees” on the Statement of Operations. Services provided pursuant to the Accounting Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of ”Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $227,300 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. Transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are also officers of Van Kampen.

selected by the trustees. Investments in such funds of approximately $164,300 are included in “Other” assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at September 30, 2008. 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. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a ten-year period and are based upon each trustee’s years of service to the Fund. The maximum annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, Van Kampen, as Distributor for the Fund, received commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A Shares of approximately $427,200 and contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redeemed shares of approximately $253,900. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

Van Kampen Strategic Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

5. Investment Transactions

During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $466,663,928 and $597,805,148, respectively.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is ”derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. The Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect the Fund against possible changes in the market value of its portfolio, to manage the portfolio’s effective yield, maturity and duration, or generate potential gain. All of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is generally recognized. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counter parties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments used by the Fund.

This amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (the variation margin).

Transactions in future contracts for year ended September 30, 2008, are as follows:


	Contracts

Outstanding at September 30, 2007		810
Futures Opened		498
Futures Closed		(1,308	)

Outstanding at September 30, 2008		-0-

B. Inverse Floating Rate Investments The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate instruments, either through outright purchases of inverse floating rate securities or through the transfer of bonds to a dealer trust in exchange for cash and residual interests in the dealer trust. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. These instruments typically involve greater risks than a fixed rate municipal bond. In particular, these instruments are acquired through leverage or may have leverage embedded in them and therefore involve many of the risks associated with leverage. Leverage is a speculative technique that may expose the Fund to greater risk and increased costs. Leverage may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged because leverage tends to magnify the effect of any increases or decreases in the

Van Kampen Strategic Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations with respect to inverse floating rate instruments.

7. Distribution and Service Plans

The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (”unreimbursed receivable”) was approximately $1,393,200 and $203,200 for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. These amounts may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed receivable has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.

Welcome, Shareholder

In this report, you’ll learn about how your investment in Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund performed during the annual period. The portfolio management team will provide an overview of the market conditions and discuss some of the factors that affected investment performance during the reporting period. In addition, this report includes the fund’s financial statements and a list of fund investments as of September 30, 2008.

Performance Summary as of 9/30/08

Performance of a $10,000 investment

This chart compares your fund’s performance to that of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers California Insured Municipal Bond Index from 9/30/98 through 9/30/08. Class A shares, adjusted for sale charges.

The returns shown in this report do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance of share classes will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses. Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of the maximum sales charge of 4.75 percent for Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00 percent for Class B shares (in years one and two and declining to zero after year five), a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00 percent for Class C shares in year one and combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees of up to 0.25 percent for Class A shares and up to 1.00 percent for Class B and C shares. The since inception and 10-year returns for Class B shares reflect the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class I shares are available for purchase exclusively by investors through (i) tax-exempt retirement plans with assets of at least $1 million (including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans), (ii) fee-based investment programs with assets of at least $1 million, (iii) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, (iv) institutional clients with assets of at least $1 million and (v) certain Van Kampen investment companies. Class I shares are offered without any sales charges on purchases or sales and do not include combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. SEC yield is a calculation for determining the amount of portfolio income, excluding non-income items as prescribed by the SEC. Yields are subject to change. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.

The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is generally representative of investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds. The Lehman Brothers California Insured Municipal Bond Index is comprised of insured California municipal bond issues. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Fund Report

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2008

Market Conditions

The municipal bond market had already been under pressure for several months prior to September, due in part to the credit rating downgrades of various monoline bond insurers and the deterioration of the auction rate and variable rate markets. The failure of Lehman Brothers, however, prompted a wave of forced selling in the municipal market as leveraged buyers, mutual funds and brokerage firms began deleveraging, putting significant pressure on prices and severely eroding liquidity. As a result, municipal yields rose, particularly on the long end of the yield curve, far exceeding those of comparable Treasuries by the end of the period. For the third quarter of 2008, the short end of the curve outperformed the long end by roughly 870 basis points. The disparity in performance was even greater over the one-year reporting period as the short end outperformed by more than 1,400 basis points. As would be expected in this risk-averse and volatile environment, higher-quality municipal bonds outperformed lower-quality issues. For the overall period, high yield municipal spreads widened from approximately 165 basis points to 305 basis points.

The state of California still benefits from its large and diverse economic base, above average wealth levels, and historically strong employment growth. However, the state faces many challenges from its large exposure to the housing crisis, falling tax revenues, and recent budgetary shortfalls. The state typically leads the national economy and its financial performance will be monitored closely.

Performance Analysis

All share classes of Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund underperformed the Lehman Brothers California Insured Municipal Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index for the 12 months ended September 30, 2008, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.

The Fund’s yield-curve positioning detracted from relative performance for the reporting period. We favored longer-maturity bonds in an effort to enhance the Fund’s yield. Unfortunately, this emphasis on the long end of the municipal yield curve was disadvantageous as the short end of the curve outperformed for the overall period. The Fund’s overweight to lower-rated yet still investment-grade bonds, specifically triple-B and single-A rated issues, hindered performance as the flight to quality that persisted throughout most of the period led the higher-rated segment of the market to outpace the lower-rated segment. Additionally, holdings in tobacco and health care bonds detracted from returns due to ongoing spread widening in the sectors. It should be noted that over the course of the period, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to the long end of the municipal curve, reduced holdings in lower quality insured issues, and trimmed exposure to the tobacco sector. These actions improved the quality of the portfolio and may help position the Fund for a more volatile market over the next few quarters.

Holdings in municipal auction rate securities with zero duration (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) were beneficial to performance as the yields on these securities remained well above those of long-maturity municipal bonds. The Fund’s exposure to pre-refunded bonds enhanced returns for the period as these shorter-maturity securities benefited from the outperformance of the short end of the municipal yield curve.

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.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs : (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A Shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and C Shares; and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (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.

Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to provide only California investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal and California income taxes, with liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of insured California municipal securities. The Fund commenced investment operations on December 13, 1985. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class.

B. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a “when-issued” or “delayed delivery” basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Fund will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. At September 30, 2008, the Fund had no when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments.

Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

for federal income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on March 31, 2008. FIN 48 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. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended September 30, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. At September 30, 2008, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $848,657, which will expire on September 30, 2016.

At September 30, 2008, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:


Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	210,926,160

Gross tax unrealized appreciation	$	1,449,441
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(17,632,639	)

Net tax unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(16,183,198	)

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:


	2008		2007
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	2,137	$	70,484
Tax exempt income		9,385,056		8,771,483
Long-term capital gain		-0-		866,832

	$	9,387,193	$	9,708,799

Permanent differences, primarily due to the Fund’s accretion and amortization, resulted in the following reclassification among the Fund’s components of net assets at September 30, 2008:


Accumulated Undistributed			Accumulated
Net Investment Income			Net Realized Loss		Capital
$	(289,149	)	$	289,149	$	-0-

Undistributed ordinary income	$	598
Undistributed tax-exempt income		1,075,410

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes as a result of the deferral of losses relating to wash sales transactions, and post October losses of $3,125,835 which are not recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year, and gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book on September 30, 2008.

F. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interest in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Fund enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Fund to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investments assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trust have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At September 30, 2008, Fund investments with a value of $11,954,500 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $9,165,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at September 30, 2008 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the year ended September 30, 2008 were $28,989,669 and 2.99%, respectively.

G. Insurance Expense The Fund typically invests in insured bonds. Any portfolio securities not specifically covered by a primary insurance policy are insured secondarily through the Fund’s portfolio insurance policy. Insurance premiums are based on the daily balances of uninsured bonds in the portfolio of investments and are charged to expense on an accrual basis. The insurance policy guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the securities in the Fund’s portfolio.

H. Credits Earned on Cash Balances During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s custody fee was reduced by $5,663 as a result of credits earned on cash balances.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $16,000 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a trustee of the Fund is a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provide legal services as legal counsel to the Fund.

Under separate Legal services, Accounting Services and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Employment agreements, the Adviser provides accounting and legal services and the CCO provides compliance services to the Fund. The costs of these services are allocated to each fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $65,200 representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.’s or its affiliates’ (collectively “Van Kampen”) cost of providing accounting and legal services to the Fund, as well as the salary, benefits and related costs of the CCO and related support staff paid by Van Kampen. Services provided pursuant to the Legal Services agreement are reported as part of “Professional Fees” on the Statement of Operations. Services provided pursuant to the Accounting Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $39,400 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. The transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are also officers of Van Kampen.

The Fund provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Fund, and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, may be invested in the common shares of those funds selected by the trustees. Investments in such funds of approximately $118,500 are included in “Other” assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at September 30, 2008. 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. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a ten-year period and are based upon each trustee’s years of service to the Fund. The maximum annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund received redemption fees of approximately $100 which are reported as part of “Cost of Shares Repurchased” on the Statement of Changes of Net Assets.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.

A. Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The Fund generally invests in futures on U.S. Treasury Notes and typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a futures commission merchant pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940 Act, or with its custodian in an account in the broker’s name. This amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Transactions in futures contracts for the year ended September 30, 2008, were as follows:


	Contracts
Outstanding at September 30, 2007		73
Futures Opened		206
Futures Closed		(279	)

Outstanding at September 30, 2008		-0-

To the extent distribution expenses are incurred by the Distributor in the future, these amounts may be recovered from subsequent payments under the distribution plan or CDSC.

The returns shown in this report do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance of share classes will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses. Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of the maximum sales charge of 4.75 percent for Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00 percent for Class B shares (in year one and declining to zero after year six), a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00 percent for Class C shares in year one and combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees of up to 0.25 percent for Class A shares and up to 1.00 percent for Class B and C shares. The since inception and 10-year returns for Class B shares reflect the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class I shares are available for purchase exclusively by investors through (i) tax-exempt retirement plans with assets of at least $1 million (including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans), (ii) fee-based investment programs with assets of at least $1 million, (iii) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, (iv) institutional clients with assets of at least $1 million and (v) certain Van Kampen investment companies. Class I shares are offered without any sales charges on purchases or sales and do not include combined rule 12b-1 fees and service fees. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Periods of less than a year are not annualized.

–1.87

During the reporting period, the Fund held an overweight to lower- and non-rated bonds relative to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which is comprised entirely of investment-grade issues. This allocation to the lower-quality segment of the market hindered performance as the flight to quality that persisted throughout most of the reporting period led higher-quality issues to outperform. Overweights to triple-B rated hospital and tobacco bonds relative to the Index also held back relative returns as spreads in these sectors widened over the course of the period. The Fund’s yield-curve positioning was also disadvantageous. We maintained an overweight exposure to the longer end of the municipal yield curve, which underperformed the short end of the curve as the curve steepened.

Other positions, however, were additive to performance. An overweight to pre-refunded bonds enhanced returns as these shorter-maturity securities benefited from the outperformance of the short end of the municipal yield curve. Additionally, holdings in municipal auction rate securities with zero durations (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) were additive to performance for the period as the yield on these securities remained well above those of long-maturity municipal bonds.

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.

Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund commenced investment operations on August 1, 1990. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class-specific expenses and voting rights on the matters affecting a single class.

B. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. Legal expenditures that are expected to result in the restructuring of or a plan of reorganization for an investment are recorded as realized losses. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a “when-issued” or “delayed delivery” basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Fund will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. At September 30, 2008, the Fund had $5,720,761 of when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments.

Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

for federal income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on March 31, 2008. FIN 48 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. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended September 30, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset these losses against any future realized capital gains. At September 30, 2008, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $32,199,885, which will expire according to the following schedule:


Amount		Expiration

$	9,728,055		September 30, 2009
	7,248,633		September 30, 2010
	10,905,393		September 30, 2015
	4,317,804		September 30, 2016

At September 30, 2008, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation are as follows:


Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	615,807,056

Gross tax unrealized appreciation	$	4,469,402
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(68,658,408	)

Net tax unrealized depreciation investments	$	(64,189,006	)

E. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund declares daily and pays monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and gains on futures transactions. All short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:


	2008		2007

Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	9,579	$	35,564
Tax-exempt income		31,551,361		29,485,531

	$	31,560,940	$	29,521,095

Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

Permanent differences, primarily due to the capital loss carry-forward in the amount of $4,180,889 expiring in the current year, resulted in the following reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets at September 30, 2008:


Accumulated Undistributed			Accumulated
Net Investment Income			Net Realized Loss		Capital
$	(61,074	)	$	4,241,963	$	(4,180,889	)

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income	$	11,184
Undistributed tax-exempt income		5,640,321

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of post October losses of $8,496,845 which are not recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year.

F. Credits Earned on Cash Balances During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s custody fee was reduced by $12,787 as a result of credits earned on cash balances.

G. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interest in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Fund enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Fund to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investments assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trust have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At September 30, 2008, Fund investments with a value of $97,131,159 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $66,300,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at September 30, 2008 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to

Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

residual interests during the year ended September 30, 2008 were $110,734,600 and 3.03%, respectively.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates


Average Daily Net Assets	% Per Annum

First $500 million		.50%
Over $500 million		.45%

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $23,300 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a trustee of the Fund is a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provide legal services as legal counsel to the Fund.

Under separate Legal Services, Accounting Services and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Employment Agreements, the Adviser provides accounting and legal services and the CCO provides compliance services to the Fund. The costs of these services are allocated to each fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $94,000 representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.’s or its affiliates’ (collectively “Van Kampen”) cost of providing accounting and legal services to the Fund, as well as the salary, benefits and related costs of the CCO and related support staff paid by Van Kampen. Services provided pursuant to the Legal Services agreement are reported as part of “Professional Fees” on the Statement of Operations. Services provided pursuant to the Accounting Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $149,500 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. The transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are also officers of Van Kampen.

The Fund provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Fund, and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, may be invested in the common shares of those funds selected by the trustees. Investments in such funds of approximately $166,000 are included in “Other” assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at September 30, 2008. 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. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a ten-year period and are based upon each trustee’s years of service to the Fund. The maximum annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500.

Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.

The Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect the Fund against possible changes in the market value of its portfolio, to manage the portfolio’s effective yield, maturity and duration, or generate potential gain. All of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is generally recognized. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counter parties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Summarized below are the different types of derivative financial instruments used by the Fund.

A. Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The Fund generally invests in exchange traded futures on U.S. Treasury Notes and typically closes the contract prior to delivery date. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a futures commission merchant pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940 Act, or with its custodian in an account in the broker’s name. This amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Transactions in futures contracts for the year ended September 30, 2008, were as follows:


	Contracts

Outstanding at September 30, 2007		238
Futures Opened		430
Futures Closed		(668	)

Outstanding at September 30, 2008		-0-

B. Inverse Floating Rate Investments The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate instruments, either through outright purchases of inverse floating rate securities or through the transfer of bonds to a dealer trust in exchange for cash and residual interests in the dealer trust. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. These instruments typically involve greater risks than a fixed rate municipal bond. In particular, these instruments are acquired through leverage or may have leverage embedded in them and therefore involve many of the risks associated with leverage. Leverage is a speculative technique that my expose the Fund to greater risk and increased costs. Leverage may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged because leverage tends to magnify the effect of any increases or decreases in the

7. Distribution and Service Plans

The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (“unreimbursed receivable”) was approximately $2,486,800 and $233,800 for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. These amounts may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed receivable has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.

The returns shown in this report do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance of share classes will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses. Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of the maximum sales charge of 4.75 percent for Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00 percent for Class B shares (in years one and two and declining to zero after year five), a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00 percent for Class C shares in year one and combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees of up to 0.25 percent for Class A shares and up to 1.00 percent for Class B and C shares. The since inception and 10-year returns for Class B shares reflect the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class I shares are available for purchase exclusively by investors through (i) tax-exempt retirement plans with assets of at least $1 million (including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans), (ii) fee-based investment programs with assets of at least $1 million, (iii) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, (iv) institutional clients with assets of at least $1 million and (v) certain Van Kampen investment companies. Class I shares are offered without any sales charges on purchases or sales and do not include combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. The fund’s adviser has waived or reimbursed fees and expenses from time to time; absent such waivers/reimbursements the fund’s returns would have been lower. SEC 30-day yield is a calculation for determining the amount of portfolio income, excluding non-income items as prescribed by the SEC. The unsubsidized SEC 30-day yields reflect some or all of the expenses that the adviser had voluntarily waived. Yields are subject to change. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Fund Report

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2008

Market Conditions

The municipal bond market had already been under pressure for several months prior to September, due in part to the credit rating downgrades of various monoline bond insurers and the deterioration of the auction rate and variable rate markets. The failure of Lehman Brothers, however, prompted a wave of forced selling in the municipal market as leveraged buyers, mutual funds and brokerage firms began deleveraging, putting significant pressure on prices and severely eroding liquidity. As a result, municipal yields rose, particularly on the long end of the yield curve, far exceeding those of comparable Treasuries by the end of the period. For the third quarter of 2008, the short end of the curve outperformed the long end by roughly 870 basis points. The disparity in performance was even greater over the one-year reporting period as the short end outperformed by more than 1,400 basis points. As would be expected in this risk-averse and volatile environment, higher-quality municipal bonds outperformed lower-quality issues. For the overall period, high yield municipal spreads widened from approximately 165 basis points to 305 basis points.

Performance Analysis

Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund Class A, B and I shares outperformed and Class C shares underperformed the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index for the 12 months ended September 30, 2008, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.

The Fund’s significant position in municipal auction rate securities with zero durations (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) was additive to performance as the yield on these securities remained well above those of long-maturity municipal bonds. An underweight allocation to housing bonds was also beneficial as spread widening hurt the performance of this sector during the period.

The Fund’s yield-curve and credit-quality positioning, however, detracted from relative performance. We maintained an underweight to the three- to five-year portion of the yield curve and an overweight to the 10-year portion of the curve. This positioning was disadvantageous as shorter-maturity issues outperformed those with longer maturities for the overall reporting period. With regard to credit quality, the Fund maintained an allocation to non-rated bonds, which are not represented in the investment-grade Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index. This exposure to the lower-quality segment of the market hindered relative performance as the flight to quality that persisted throughout most of the period led higher-quality bonds to outperform. An underweight to pre-refunded bonds also held back returns as these shorter-maturity securities benefited from the outperformance of the short end of the municipal yield curve.

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.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A Shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and Class C Shares; and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (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.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 4/1/08 - 9/30/08.

Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund commenced investment operations on May 28, 1993. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class.

B. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. Legal expenditures that are expected to result in the restructuring of or a plan of reorganization for an investment are recorded as realized losses. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a “when-issued” or “delayed delivery” basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Fund will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. At September 30, 2008, the Fund had $743,515 of when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.

Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

for federal income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on March 31, 2008. FIN 48 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. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended September 30, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset these losses against any future realized capital gains. During the current year, the Fund utilized capital losses carried forward of $54,717.

At September 30, 2008, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:


Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	133,051,824

Gross tax unrealized appreciation	$	604,183
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(5,623,990	)

Net tax unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(5,019,807	)

E. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund declares daily and pays monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and gains on futures transactions. All short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows.


	2008		2007

Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	978	$	336
Tax-exempt income		4,342,162		3,627,442

	$	4,343,140	$	3,627,778

Permanent differences, primarily due to the Fund’s investment in other regulated investment companies, resulted in the following reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets at September 30, 2008:


Accumulated Undistributed			Accumulated
Net Investment Income			Net Realized Loss		Capital

$	(13,203	)	$	13,203	$	-0-

Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income	$	1,482
Undistributed tax-exempt income		757,533
Undistributed long-term capital gain		77

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book.

F. Credits Earned on Cash Balances During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s custody fee was reduced by $779 as a result of credits earned on cash balances.

G. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interest in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Fund enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Fund to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investments assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trust have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At September 30, 2008, Fund investments with a value of $6,034,469 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $4,525,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at September 30, 2008 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the year ended September 30, 2008 were $3,183,142 and 2.26%, respectively.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates


Average Daily Net Assets	% Per Annum

First $500 million		.50%
Over $500 million		.45%

The Fund’s Adviser is currently waiving or reimbursing all or a portion of the Fund’s advisory fees or other expenses. This resulted in net expense ratios of 1.00%, 1.05%, 1.75%, and 0.73% for Classes A, B, C and I Shares, respectively. The fee waivers or expense reimbursements are voluntary and can be discontinued at any time. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Adviser waived or reimbursed approximately $117,800 of advisory fees or other expenses.

For the year ended September 30 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $10,100 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a trustee of the Fund is a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provide legal services as legal counsel to the Fund.

Under separate Legal Services, Accounting Services and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Employment Agreements, the Adviser provides accounting and legal services and the CCO provides compliance services to the Fund. The costs of these services are allocated to each fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $55,800 representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.’s or its affiliates’ (collectively “Van Kampen”) cost of providing accounting and legal services to the Fund, as well as the salary, benefits and related costs of the CCO and related support staff paid by Van Kampen. Services provided pursuant to the Legal Services agreement are reported as part of “Professional Fees” on the Statement of Operations. Services provided pursuant to the Accounting Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $30,100 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. The transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are also officers of Van Kampen.

The Fund provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Fund, and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, may be invested in the common shares of those funds selected by the trustees. Investments in such funds of approximately $111,100 are included in “Other” assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at September 30, 2008. 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. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a ten-year

Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

period and are based upon each trustee’s years of service to the Fund. The maximum annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, Van Kampen, as Distributor for the Fund, received commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A Shares of approximately $43,300 and contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redeemed shares of approximately $14,500. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

4. Redemption Fee

Until November 3, 2008, the Fund will assess a 2% redemption fee on the proceeds of Fund shares that are redeemed (either by sale or exchange) within seven days of purchase. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Fund and allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund received redemption fees of approximately $15,600 which are reported as part of “Cost of Shares Repurchased” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The per share impact from redemption fees paid to the Fund was less than $0.01. The redemption fee will no longer be applied after November 3, 2008.

Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

5. Investment Transactions

During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $102,642,575 and $72,037,521, respectively.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.

Summarized below are the different types of derivative financial instruments used by the Fund.

A. Futures Contracts A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The Fund generally invests in exchange traded futures contracts on U.S. Treasury Securities and typically closes the contract prior to delivery date. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a futures commission merchant pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940 Act, or with its custodian in an account in the broker’s name. This amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There were no futures transactions entered into during the year ended September 30, 2008.

B. Inverse Floating Rate Investments The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate instruments, either through outright purchases of inverse floating rate securities or through the transfer of bonds to a dealer trust in exchange for cash and residual interests in the dealer trust. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. These instruments typically involve greater risks than a fixed rate municipal bond. In particular, these instruments are acquired through leverage or may have leverage embedded in them and therefore involve many of the risks associated with leverage. Leverage is a speculative technique that my expose the Fund to greater risk and increased costs. Leverage may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged because leverage tends to magnify the effect of any increases or decreases in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations with respect to inverse floating rate instruments.

7. Distributions and Service Plans

Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to .25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets. These fees are accrued daily and paid to the Distributor monthly.

The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (“unreimbursed receivable”) was approximately $0 and $7,800 for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. These amounts may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed receivable has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.

8. Indemnifications

9. Accounting Pronouncements

On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Performance Summary as of 9/30/08

Performance of a $10,000 investment

This chart compares your fund’s performance to that of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers New York Municipal Bond Index from 9/30/98 through 9/30/08. Class A shares, adjusted for sales charges.

30-Day SEC Yield	4.35%						4.58%						3.78%

Because Class B shares incurred lower expenses under the 12b-1 Plan than did Class A shares for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2008, the total operating expense ratio for Class B shares was lower and, as a result, the performance of Class B shares was higher than that of Class A shares. There can be no assurance that this will continue to occur in the future as the maximum fees payable by Class B shares under the 12b-1 Plan are higher than those payable by Class A shares.

The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is generally representative of investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds. The Lehman Brothers NY Municipal Bond Index tracks the performance of NY issued municipal bonds rated at least Baa or BBB by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, and with maturities of 2 years or greater. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Fund Report

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2008

Market Conditions

The municipal bond market had already been under pressure for several months prior to September, due in part to the credit rating downgrades of various monoline bond insurers and the deterioration of the auction rate and variable rate markets. The failure of Lehman Brothers, however, prompted a wave of forced selling in the municipal market as leveraged buyers, mutual funds and brokerage firms began deleveraging, putting significant pressure on prices and severely eroding liquidity. As a result, municipal yields rose, particularly on the long end of the yield curve, far exceeding those of comparable Treasuries by the end of the period. For the third quarter of 2008, the short end of the curve outperformed the long end by roughly 870 basis points. The disparity in performance was even greater over the one-year reporting period as the short end outperformed by more than 1,400 basis points. As would be expected in this risk-averse and volatile environment, higher-quality municipal bonds outperformed lower-quality issues. For the overall period, high yield municipal spreads widened from approximately 165 basis points to 305 basis points.

The state of New York benefits from its broad-based and wealthy economy and has seen an improvement in its finances and budgetary reserves over the past few years. However, the national housing and economic slowdown as well as the volatility in the financial markets will pose challenges for the state over the next year. We continue to monitor the state’s fiscal position during the financial crisis and will look for opportunities to invest in more stable sectors.

Performance Analysis

All share classes of Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund underperformed the Lehman Brothers New York Municipal Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index for the 12 months ended September 30, 2008, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.

The performance for the three share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Fund’s total return figures assume the reinvestment of all distributions, but do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. Such costs would lower performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. See Performance Summary for standardized performance information and index definitions.

An emphasis on higher-yielding, lower-rated bonds and bonds with longer maturities was the primary contributor to the Fund’s relative underperformance for the reporting period. The Fund was positioned this way in an effort to enhance its yield. Unfortunately, over the course of the period the short end of the municipal yield curve outpaced the long end and the emphasis on bonds with longer maturities was disadvantageous. The Fund’s overweight to lower-rated issues hindered performance as the flight to quality that persisted throughout most of the period led the higher-quality segment of the market to outperform. In particular, holdings in non-rated bonds and triple-B rated health care, tobacco, and industrial development revenue bonds hindered performance as these sectors all suffered amid ongoing spread widening.

Other positions, however, were additive to performance. The Fund’s holdings of pre-refunded bonds enhanced returns as these shorter-maturity securities benefited from the outperformance of the short end of the municipal yield curve. Additionally, holdings in municipal auction rate securities with zero duration (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) were beneficial to performance for the period as the yields on these securities remained well above those of long-maturity municipal bonds.

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.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A Shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and Class C Shares; and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (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.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 4/1/08 - 9/30/08.

Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City income taxes, consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of New York municipal securities that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase. The Fund commenced investment operations on July 29, 1994. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class. As of September 30, 2008, there have been no sales of Class I Shares.

A. Security Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Future contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Interest rate swaps are valued using market quotations from brokers. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

B. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a “when-issued” or “delayed delivery” basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Fund will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. At September 30, 2008, there were no when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.

Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

D. Federal Income Taxes It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on March 31, 2008. FIN 48 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. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended September 30, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

At September 30, 2008, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation are as follows:


Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	118,272,279

Gross tax unrealized appreciation		792,007
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(10,182,337	)

Net tax unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(9,390,330	)

E. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund declares and pays monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and gains on futures transactions. All short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains are included as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:


	2008		2007

Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	1,340	$	7,504
Tax-exempt income		5,255,748		4,864,884
Long-term capital gain		141,267		181,000

	$	5,398,355	$	5,053,388

Permanent differences, primarily due to excise taxes paid which are non deductible for tax purposes, resulted in the following reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets at September 30, 2008:


Accumulated Undistributed		Accumulated
Net Investment Income		Net Realized Loss		Capital

$	4,042	$	1,498	$	(5,540	)

Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income	$	318
Undistributed tax-exempt income		498,075

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes as a result of gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book purposes and post October losses of $1,826,601, which are not recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year.

F. Credits Earned on Cash Balances During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s custody fee was reduced by $1,705 as a result of credits earned on cash balances.

G. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Fund enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Fund to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At September 30, 2008, Fund investments with a value of $7,374,255 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $6,010,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at September 30, 2008 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the year ended September 30, 2008 were $4,846,950 and 3.81%, respectively.

Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (“the Adviser”) will provide investment advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:


Average Daily Net Assets	% Per Annum

First $500 million		.470%
Over $500 million		.445%

The Fund’s Adviser is currently waiving or reimbursing all or a portion of the Fund’s advisory fees or other expenses. This resulted in net expense ratios of 0.89%, 0.81%, and 1.64% for Classes A, B, and C Shares, respectively. The fee waivers or expense reimbursements are voluntary and can be discontinued at any time. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Adviser waived or reimbursed approximately $295,500 of advisory fees or other expenses.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $11,400 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a trustee of the Fund is a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provide legal services as legal counsel to the Fund.

Under separate Legal Services, Accounting Services and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Employment agreements, the Adviser provides accounting and legal services and the CCO provides compliance services to the Fund. The costs of these services are allocated to each fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $50,100, representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.’s or its affiliates’ (collectively “Van Kampen”) cost of providing accounting and legal services to the Fund, as well as the salary, benefits and related costs of the CCO and related support staff paid by Van Kampen. Services provided pursuant to the Legal Services agreement are reported as part of “Professional Fees” on the Statement of Operations. Services provided pursuant to the Accounting Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $23,500 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. Transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are also officers of Van Kampen.

The Fund provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Fund and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, may be invested in the common shares of those funds selected by the trustees. Investments in such funds of approximately $70,000 are included in “Other” assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at September 30, 2008. 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. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a

Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

ten-year period and are based upon each trustee’s years of service to the Fund. The maximum annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, Van Kampen, as Distributor for the Fund, received commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A Shares of approximately $26,400 and contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redeemed shares of approximately $36,400. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

3. Capital Transactions

For the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, transactions were as follows:

4. Redemption Fee

5. Investment Transactions

During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $45,761,871 and $40,302,561, respectively.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.

Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

The Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons such as to attempt to protect the Fund against possible changes in the market value of its portfolio and to manage the portfolio’s effective maturity and duration. All of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in the unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is generally recognized.

Summarized below are the different types of derivative financial instruments used by the Fund.

A. Futures Contracts The Fund may invest in futures contracts, a type of derivative investment. A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The Fund generally invests in exchange traded futures contracts on U.S. Treasury Bonds or Notes and typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a futures commission merchant pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940 Act, or with its custodian in an account in the broker’s name. This amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

There were no futures transactions entered into during the year ended September 30, 2008.

7. Distribution and Service Plans

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Van Kampen Funds Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to compensate the Distributor for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to .25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of

Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n September 30, 2008 continued

Class B and Class C average daily net assets. These fees are accrued daily and paid to the Distributor monthly.

The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (“unreimbursed receivable”) was approximately $0 and $12,900 for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. These amounts may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed receivable has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.

JOINT AUDIT COMMITTEE
AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES
OF THE
VAN KAMPEN FUNDS

AS ADOPTED JULY 23, 2003 AND AMENDED MAY 26, 2004¹

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES

The Audit Committee of the Board is required to review and, in its sole discretion, pre-approve all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditors to the Fund and Covered Entities in order to assure that services performed by the Independent Auditors do not impair the auditor’s independence from the Fund.²

The SEC has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client, as well as the audit committee’s administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. The SEC’s rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving services, which the SEC considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either: may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee (“general pre-approval”); or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval authority has been delegated) if it is to be provided by the Independent Auditors. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the Independent Auditors are best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient services, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Fund’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Fund’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor should necessarily be determinative.

The Audit Committee is also mindful of the relationship between fees for audit and non-audit services in deciding whether to pre-approve any such services and may determine for each fiscal year, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for Audit, Audit-related and Tax services for the Fund (including any Audit-related or Tax service fees for Covered Entities that were subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services for the Fund (including any such services for Covered Entities subject to pre-approval).

The appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other services that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers and provides a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the Independent Auditors without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the policy and procedures by which the Audit Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors to management.


¹		This Joint Audit Committee Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures (the “Policy”), amended as of the date above, supercedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been amended from time to time.

²		Terms used in this Policy and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings as defined in the Joint Audit Committee Charter.

The Fund’s Independent Auditors have reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of the Policy will not adversely affect the Independent Auditors’ independence.

Delegation

As provided in the Act and the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Audit Services

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by the Independent Auditors to be able to form an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal control, and consultations relating to the audit. The Audit Committee will monitor the Audit services engagement as necessary, but no less than on a quarterly basis, and will also approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Fund structure or other items.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to other Audit services, which are those services that only the Independent Auditors reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements (on Forms N-1A, N-2, N-3, N-4, etc.), periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Appendix B.1. All other Audit services not listed in Appendix B.1 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

Audit-related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities’ financial statements, or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditors. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to Audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Forms N-SAR and/or N-CSR.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit-related services in Appendix B.2. All other Audit-related services not listed in Appendix B.2 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditors can provide Tax services to the Fund and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities, such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the Independent Auditors may provide such services. Hence, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those Tax services that have historically been provided by the Independent Auditors, that the Audit Committee has reviewed and believes would not impair the independence of the Independent Auditors, and that are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the

Independent Auditors in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Independent Auditors, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with Director of Tax or outside counsel to determine that the tax planning and reporting positions are consistent with this policy.

Pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the Tax Services in Appendix B.3. All Tax services involving large and complex transactions not listed in Appendix B.3 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated), including tax services proposed to be provided by the Independent Auditors to any executive officer or trustee/director/managing general partner of the Fund, in his or her individual capacity, where such services are paid for by the Fund (generally applicable only to internally managed investment companies).

All Other Services

The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC’s rules prohibiting the Independent Auditors from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted. Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the All Other services in Appendix B.4. Permissible All Other services not listed in Appendix B.4 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

A list of the SEC’s prohibited non-audit services is attached to this policy as Appendix B.5. The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts

Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the Independent Auditors will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is mindful of the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services. For each fiscal year, the Audit Committee may determine the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for Audit, Audit-related, and Tax services for the Fund (including any Audit-related or Tax services fees for Covered Entities subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services for the Fund (including any such services for Covered Entities subject to pre-approval).

Procedures

All requests or applications for services to be provided by the Independent Auditors that do not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Fund’s Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the Independent Auditors. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the Independent Auditors and the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has designated the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Independent Auditors and to determine whether such services are in compliance with this Policy. The Fund’s Chief Financial Officer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis on the results of its monitoring. A sample report is included as Appendix B.7. Both the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer and management will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to the attention of the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer or any member of management.

Additional Requirements

The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the Independent Auditors and to assure the auditor’s independence from the Fund, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the Independent Auditors delineating all relationships between the Independent Auditors and the Fund, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the Independent Auditors its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

10.
