To the Shareholders
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are pleased to update you on the National and 12 state-specific portfolios of
Seligman Tax-Exempt Fund Series for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995.

     Your Series' total net assets stood at $1,226,464,083 at September 30,
compared to $1,255,408,829 a year ago. Dividends and gains paid to shareholders
during the 12 months totaled $76,002,127.

     The past 12 months have been a particularly turbulent period for
fixed-income markets. During the fourth quarter of 1994, a strengthening economy
continued to fuel fears of an acceleration in the inflation rate. By
mid-November, municipal bond yields had climbed to their highest levels since
1991. Investors, until now conspicuous by their absence, were attracted by
higher yields and cautiously began buying. The municipal market, however, was
still trying to absorb an oversupply of inventory as well as attempting to
overcome the aftershocks of the Orange County, California, debacle and thus
improved at a slower rate than the U.S. Treasury market. As 1994 came to a
close, the bond market recovery was firmly under way. The Federal Reserve
Board's (FRB) decision on February 1 to once again raise the federal funds rate
helped to sustain the rally by boosting investor confidence in the FRB's ability
to contain inflation.

     The U.S. economy finally began to exhibit signs of moderating during the
second quarter of 1995, spurring further declines in long-term yields. The FRB,
encouraged by economic reports, voted on July 6 to lower the federal funds rate
in order to minimize the risk of a recession. While the bond markets initially
reacted positively to this news, it wasn't long before the next round of
economic reports proved surprisingly robust, prompting speculation that the
economy was not as weak as believed. Long-term yields reversed their decline and
spiked sharply, dashing hopes of an imminent FRB easing. The municipal market
began to improve in late August as signs of economic strength abated. By
September 30, long-term yields were essentially unchanged from a year ago.

     For much of the past year, municipal market participants have been focusing
on tax reform legislation. Investors, concerned about the impact on the
tax-exempt status of municipal securities, have been demanding higher yields as
compensation. Currently, long-term municipal bonds, compared with taxable bonds,
are the most attractive they have been all year.

     A discussion with your Portfolio Manager about your Series, along with
highlights of performance, long-term investment results, portfolio holdings, and
financial statements, follows this letter.

Annual Performance Overview
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is a biography of your Portfolio Manager, a discussion with him
regarding Seligman Tax-Exempt Fund Series, and a chart and table comparing your
Series' performance to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index.

Your Portfolio Manager

[Photo of Thomas G. Moles]

Thomas G. Moles is a Managing Director of J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated,
as well as President and Senior Portfolio Manager of Seligman Select Municipal
Fund and Seligman Quality Municipal Fund, and Vice President and Senior
Portfolio Manager of the Seligman tax-exempt mutual funds which include 19
separate portfolios. He is responsible for more than $2 billion in tax-exempt
securities. Mr. Moles, with more than 25 years of experience, has spearheaded
Seligman's tax-exempt efforts since joining the firm in 1983.

Factors Affecting Seligman Tax-Exempt Fund Series

"In general, the investment environment for municipal securities in 1995 was
much more advantageous than in 1994. Looking back, interest rates continued to
move higher during the fourth quarter of 1994 as negative market sentiment
prevailed. The net asset values on long-term municipal bond mutual funds,
including your Series, declined as a result. The municipal market was further
impacted by the Orange County, California, bankruptcy, which undermined
confidence in the market.

"During the first half of 1995, yields on municipal bonds trended lower as the
economy exhibited signs of moderating. The municipal market, however,
underperformed the U.S. Treasury market due to concerns regarding tax reform.
During the third quarter, stronger-than-expected economic reports caused a brief
spike in interest rates. By September 30, however, the overall decline in
long-term yields over the past 12 months had caused the net asset values of your
Series to improve."

Your Manager's Investment Strategy

"For much of the past year, there has been little difference between yields on
20-year and 30-year municipal bonds. We took advantage of the narrow yield
spread and shortened maturities where opportunities allowed. By implementing
this strategy, the Series was able to maintain yields while lessening
volatility.

"As the bond market gradually improved, your Series assumed a less defensive
posture. Shorter-term prerefunded positions were reduced and replaced with
long-term bonds, as long-term bonds generally realize greater price appreciation
than shorter-term bonds in a declining interest rate environment.

"The Series continues to concentrate new purchases in higher-quality municipal
bonds. The market has not been offering enough of an additional yield on
lower-rated bonds to compensate for their increased risk. In addition, the
Series has focused on bonds issued to provide for essential services, such as
water and sewer facilities, transportation projects, etc. These bonds generally
offer increased security because revenues derived from the projects are often
pledged as repayment for the principal and interest on the bonds."

Looking Ahead

"The municipal market faces many challenges in the months to come. With the
Federal government shifting more and more responsibilities to individual states,
we are concerned about the impact on state budgets. Additionally, the
possibility exists that future tax reform legislation may affect the tax-exempt
status of municipal securities. At present, however, tax reform is not a
consideration in our decision making process. We will continue to stay abreast
of the latest developments and adjust our strategy accordingly. Despite the
challenges, we remain optimistic about the prospects for the municipal market.
We believe a moderating economy and a vigilant Federal Reserve Board should keep
inflation in check and prevent a repeat of the dramatic interest rate increases
that occurred in 1994."

Performance Comparison Charts and Tables                      September 30, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following charts compare a $10,000 hypothetical investment made in each
Series of Seligman Tax-Exempt Fund Series Class A shares, with and without the
maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%, for the 10-year or since inception (where
applicable) periods ended September 30, 1995, to a $10,000 hypothetical
investment made in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (Lehman Index) for
the same periods. The performance of each Series of Seligman Tax-Exempt Fund
Series Class D shares is not shown in the charts but is included in the table
below each chart. It is important to keep in mind that the Lehman Index excludes
the effects of any fees or sales charges, and does not reflect state-specific
bond market performance.

No adjustment was made to Class A shares' performance for periods prior to
January 1, 1993, the commencement date for the annual Administration,
Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan fee of up to 0.25% of average daily
net assets of each Series. Performance data quoted represent changes in price
and assume that all deductions within the periods are invested in additional
shares. The performance of Class D shares will be greater than or less than the
performance shown for Class A shares, based on differences in sales charges and
fees paid by shareholders.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so
that shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Past performance is not indicative of future investment results.

Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Seligman Tax-Exempt Fund Series, Inc. (the "Fund") consists of 13 separate
series: the "National Series," the "Colorado Series," the "Georgia Series," the
"Louisiana Series," the "Maryland Series," the "Massachusetts Series," the
"Michigan Series," the "Minnesota Series," the "Missouri Series," the "New York
Series," the "Ohio Series," the "Oregon Series," and the "South Carolina
Series." Each Series of the Fund offers two classes of shares. All shares
existing prior to February 1, 1994, were classified as Class A shares. Class A
shares are sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.75% and a continuing
service fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. Class D shares are sold without
an initial sales charge but are subject to a distribution fee of up to 0.75% and
a service fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis, and contingent deferred sales
load ("CDSL") of 1% imposed on certain redemptions made within one year of
purchase. The two classes of shares for each Series represent interests in the
same portfolio of investments, have the same rights and are generally identical
in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and
certain class expenses and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any
matter to which a separate vote of any class is required.

2. Significant accounting policies followed, all in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, are given below:

a. All tax-exempt securities and other short-term holdings maturing in more than
60 days are valued based upon quotations provided by an independent pricing
service or, in their absence, at fair value determined in accordance with
procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Short-term holdings maturing in
60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.

b. There is no provision for federal income or excise tax. Each Series has
elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company and intends to distribute
substantially all taxable net income and net gain realized. Dividends are
declared daily and paid monthly.

c. Investment transactions are recorded on trade dates. Identified cost of
investments sold is used for both financial statement and federal income tax
purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes
original issue discounts and premiums paid on purchases of portfolio securities.
Discounts other then original issue discounts are not amortized.

d. All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses), and realized and
unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based
upon the relative value of the shares of each class. Class-specific expenses,
which include distribution and service fees and any other items that can be
specifically attributed to a particular class, are charged directly to such
class.

e. The treatment for financial statement purposes of distributions made during
the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their
ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused
primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components
of income, expense, and capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such
differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of
net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax
purposes. Any such reclassification will have no effect on net assets, results
of operations, or net asset value per share of the Fund.


3. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term
investments, for the year ended September 30, 1995, were as follows:

   Series                   Purchases                   Sales

6. In accordance with current federal income tax law, each of the Series' net
realized capital gains and losses are considered separately for purposes of
determining taxable capital gains. At September 30, 1995, the net loss
carryforwards for the National, Colorado and New York Series amounted to
$457,352, $268,007 and $48,960, respectively, which are available for offset
against future taxable net gains, expiring in 2003. Accordingly, no capital gain
distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders of the National, Colorado
and New York Series until net capital gains have been realized in excess of the
available capital loss carryforwards.

National and Missouri Series; 30,000,000 shares each for the Massachusetts,

Financial Highlights
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund's financial highlights are presented below. The per share operating
performance data is designed to allow investors to trace the operating
performance, on a per share basis, from a Series' beginning net asset value to
the ending net asset value so that they may understand what effect the
individual items have on their investment assuming it was held throughout the
period. Generally, the per share amounts are derived by converting the actual
dollar amounts incurred for each item as disclosed in the financial statements
to their equivalent per share amounts using average shares outstanding. The
total return based on net asset value measures a Series' performance assuming
investors purchased shares at net asset value as of the beginning of the period,
reinvested dividends and capital gains paid at net asset value, and then sold
their shares at the net asset value per share on the last day of the period. The
total return computations do not reflect any sales charges investors may incur
in purchasing or selling shares of the Fund. The total returns for periods of
less than one year are not annualized.

Report of Independent Auditors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
Seligman Tax-Exempt Fund Series, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of the National, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oregon
and South Carolina Series of Seligman Tax-Exempt Fund Series, Inc. as of
September 30, 1995, the related statements of operations for the year then ended
and of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then
ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
September 30, 1995 by correspondence with the Fund's custodian and brokers;
where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing
procedures. 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, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each Series of
Seligman Tax-Exempt Fund Series, Inc. as of September 30, 1995, the results of
their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights
for the respective stated periods, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
