ANNUAL REPORT

                                                                 August 20, 1997

Dear Shareholder,

     We are pleased to present you with the annual report for PaineWebber RMA 
Money Market Portfolio, PaineWebber RMA U.S. Government Portfolio and 
PaineWebber RMA Tax-Free Fund, Inc. for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.


GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Early in the period, uncertainty over the direction of interest rates 
unsettled what was already a jittery bond market. By mid-summer 1996, a 
moderating economy helped bolster the market for a short period of time, a 
situation that was, however, only fleeting as renewed fears of an overheating 
economy quickly re-emerged. This  pattern would repeat itself throughout the 
fall and into the new year.


      The Federal Reserve's (the "Fed") decision to raise short-term interest 
rates to 5.5% in March resulted in virtually every bond sector posting a 
negative total return at the end of the first quarter of 1997. The high yield
sector was the exception, as gains in January and February more than offset the
softness following the Fed move. Then, on April 28, 1997, the report of the 
Employment Cost Index (ECI)--considered to be the most comprehensive 
wage-inflation indicator, and critical to Fed policy--indicated a very 
positive inflation picture. This information, plus positive news on an agreed
upon framework by President Clinton and the Republicans to balance the budget 
by 2002, and an atypical paydown in federal debt, turned market sentiment 
extremely bullish. Bonds rallied strongly, sending the yield on the long bond 
from 7.1% on March 31, 1997 to 6.8% on June 30, 1997. Furthermore, all fixed 
income market sectors contributed positively to overall performance; however, 
the high yield sector again outperformed others as investors" willingness to 
accept higher credit risk produced higher returns.


PORTFOLIO REVIEW

      Throughout the period, the portfolios maintained slightly higher average
weighted maturities than their peers, in response to economic data indicating
low inflation with slight economic growth.

ANNUAL REPORT

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PAINEWEBBER RMA U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO

      PaineWebber RMA U.S. Government Portfolio's net assets totalled $1.1 
billion as of June 30, 1997. The Portfolio's current yield for the seven-day 
period ended June 30, 1997 was 4.93%. As of June 30, 1997, the Portfolio's 
weighted average maturity was 70 days.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PAINEWEBBER RMA TAX-FREE FUND

     PaineWebber RMA Tax-Free Fund's net assets totalled $2.1 billion as of 
June 30, 1997. The Fund's current yield for the seven-day period ended June 30,
1997 was 3.42%. The Fund maintained a weighted average maturity of 45 days as of
June 30, 1997. In addition, the Fund did not invest in any securities subject to
the federal alternative minimum tax for individual taxpayers.


OUTLOOK
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       As we enter the second half of 1997, the emerging view on the economy 
has been for a slowdown in growth rates. While bond market participants have, 
over the period, acquired a greater confidence in the Fed's management of 
monetary policy, more critically abetting the market's run-up has been a 
widening perception that the Greenspan Fed is likely to be pragmatic--and not
driven strictly by classical resource utilization-based economic thought that 
currently argues for aggressive monetary tightening. This, in fact, appears 
to be the case, as evidenced by the Federal Reserve's decision not to move on 
interest rates at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on August 19, 
1997. Although we plan to maintain the Portfolios' and the Fund's current 
posture, every new economic number released will be closely scrutinized. 
Inflation is always a concern and, as such, will be carefully monitored. 
Investment decisions for the Fund and the Portfolios will continue to be 
dominated by credit, quality and liquidity. Although we are interested in 
maintaining higher yields, we will not do so by sacrificing our emphasis on 
security, quality and liquidity.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc. ("Corporation") was organized under the laws
of Maryland on July 2, 1982 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
diversified management investment company. The Corporation is a series mutual
fund with three portfolios: PaineWebber RMA Money Market Portfolio ("Money
Market Portfolio"), PaineWebber RMA U.S. Government Portfolio ("U.S. Government
Portfolio") (collectively the "Funds") and PaineWebber Retirement Money Fund.
The financial statements of PaineWebber Retirement Money Fund are not included
herein.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies:
 
  VALUATION AND ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investments
are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Investment
transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses from
investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums are amortized and
discounts are accreted as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost
of investments.
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--The Funds' custodian takes possession of the collateral
pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is
valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value, including
accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of
default of the obligation to repurchase, each Fund has the right to liquidate
the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under
certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party
to the agreement, realization and/ or retention of the collateral may be subject
to legal proceedings.
 
  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions is
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are
either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification.
 
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
  The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Funds to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those
particular to a specific industry or region.
 
ACQUISITIONS
 
  Effective November 20, 1995, the U.S. Government Portfolio acquired all the
net assets of PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Government Money Fund, Inc. ("PW/KP
Government Money Fund") pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by PW/KP
Government Money Fund shareholders on November 10, 1995. The acquisition was
accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 236,411,466 shares of the U.S. Government
Portfolio for the 236,411,466 shares of PW/KP Government Money Fund outstanding
on November 20, 1995. PW/KP Government Money Fund's net assets at that date,
valued at $236,258,548, including accumulated net realized losses of $952 were
combined with those of the U.S. Government Portfolio.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
  The Corporation's Board of Directors has approved an Investment Advisory and
Administration Contract ("Advisory Contract") with PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber"), under which PaineWebber serves as investment adviser and

  Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PaineWebber, serves as sub-adviser and sub-administrator of the
Fund pursuant to a Sub-Advisory and Sub-Administration Contract between
PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins. In accordance with that contract, PaineWebber
(not the Fund) pays Mitchell Hutchins a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at
an annual rate of 20% of the fee paid by the Fund to PaineWebber under the
Advisory Contract.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLAN
 
  PaineWebber is the distributor of the shares of both the U.S. Government
Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio. Under the plan of distribution, the U.S.
Government Portfolio is authorized to pay PaineWebber a monthly service fee at
the annual rate of up to 0.15% of its average daily net assets for providing
shareholder services and maintaining shareholder accounts. Currently,
PaineWebber is compensated for providing such services at the annual rate of
0.08% of the U.S. Government Portfolio's average daily net assets. No such fees
are charged by PaineWebber for the similar services it provides for the Money
Market Portfolio. At June 30, 1997, the U.S. Government Portfolio owed
PaineWebber $73,513 for such service fees.
 
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES
 
  Each Fund pays PaineWebber an annual fee of $4.00 per active PaineWebber
shareholder account, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses, for services not
provided by the Funds' transfer agent. For these services for the year ended
June 30,

and the U.S. Government Portfolio, respectively. At June 30, 1997, the Money
Market Portfolio and the U.S. Government Portfolio owed PaineWebber
approximately $151,051 and $11,863, respectively, for such shareholder service

  At June 30, 1997, the Money Market Portfolio and the U.S. Government
Portfolio, had dividends payable aggregating $14,337,136 and $1,785,011,
respectively.
 
FEDERAL TAX STATUS
 
  Each Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and to comply with
the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is
required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially
all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if
any, each Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.
 
  At June 30, 1997, RMA Money Market Portfolio and RMA U.S. Government Portfolio
had net capital loss carryforwards of $2,878,851, and $23,802, respectively.
These loss carryforwards are available as reductions, to the extent provided in
the regulations, of future net realized capital gains, and will expire between
June 30, 1998 and June 30, 2003 for RMA Money Market Portfolio and between June
30, 2003 and June 30, 2005 for RMA U.S. Government Portfolio. To the extent that
these losses are used to offset future net capital gains, the gains so offset
will not be distributed.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the Money Market
Portfolio and the U.S. Government Portfolio (two of the portfolios comprising
the PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc.) as of June 30, 1997, and the related
statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of
investments owned at June 30, 1997 by correspondence with the custodian and
others. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. 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 the
Money Market Portfolio and the U.S. Government Portfolio at June 30, 1997, the
results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

TAX INFORMATION--(UNAUDITED)
 
  We are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, to advise you within sixty days of the Fund's fiscal year end (June 30,
1997) as to the federal tax status of distributions received by shareholders
during such fiscal year from each portfolio. Accordingly, we are advising you
that all of the distributions paid during the fiscal year were derived from net
investment income of the Money Market Portfolio and the U.S. Government
Portfolio. These amounts are taxable as ordinary income, none of which qualifies
for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
 
  Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not
be reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh
and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information
reporting.
 
  Because the Funds' fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification
will be sent in respect of calendar 1997. The second notification, which will
reflect the amount used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal income tax
returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be mailed in
January 1998. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with
respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  PaineWebber RMA Tax-Free Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was organized under the laws
of Maryland on July 2, 1982 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
diversified management investment company.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Following is a summary of
significant accounting policies:
 
  VALUATION AND ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investments
are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Investment
transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses from
investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums are amortized and
discounts are accreted as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost
of investments.
 
  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are
either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification.
 
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
  The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those
particular to a specific industry or region.
 
ACQUISITIONS
 
  Effective November 20, 1995, the Fund acquired all the net assets of
PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Tax-Exempt Money Fund, Inc. ("PW/KP Tax-Exempt Money
Fund") pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by PW/KP Tax-Exempt Money
Fund shareholders on November 10, 1995. The acquisition was accomplished by a
tax-free exchange of 395,167,695 shares of the Fund for 395,167,695 shares of
PW/KP Tax-Exempt Money Fund outstanding on November 20, 1995. PW/KP Tax-Exempt
Money Fund's net assets at that date, valued at $395,038,835, including
accumulated net realized losses of $2,135, were combined with those of the Fund.
 
  Effective November 26, 1996, the Fund acquired all the net assets of
PaineWebber RMA Connecticut Municipal Money Fund ("RMA Connecticut") pursuant to
a plan of reorganization approved by RMA Connecticut shareholders on November
25, 1996. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 19,670,455
shares of the Fund for 19,670,455 shares of RMA Connecticut outstanding on
November 26, 1996. RMA Connecticut's net assets at that date, valued at
$19,671,259, were combined with those of the Fund.

federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each
calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and
certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal
excise tax.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
PaineWebber RMA Tax-Free Fund, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of PaineWebber RMA
Tax-Free Fund, Inc. as of June 30, 1997, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
periods indicated therein. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of
investments owned at June 30, 1997 by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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
PaineWebber RMA Tax-Free Fund, Inc. at June 30, 1997, the results of its
operations 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 indicated periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

TAX INFORMATION--(UNAUDITED)
 
  We are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, to advise you within 60 days of the Fund's fiscal year end (June 30,
1997) as to the federal tax status of distributions received by shareholders
during such fiscal year. Accordingly, we are advising you that all of the
distributions paid during the fiscal year were federally-exempt interest
dividends, none of which qualifies for the dividend received deduction available
to corporate shareholders. Since the Fund did not invest in any security which
paid interest subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individual
taxpayers during its fiscal year, none of the dividends paid by the Fund were
subject to such tax.
 
  Because the Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification
will be sent in respect of calendar 1997. The second notification, which
reflects any amounts to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal
income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be
mailed in January 1998. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.
