Intermediate Tax/AMT Free Fund, a series of Scudder Tax Free
Trust, on Form N-CSR;
2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue

4. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are

Investment Company Act of 1940) for the registrant and have:
(a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
information relating to the registrant, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
within those entities, particularly during the period in
which this report is being prepared;
(b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting,
or caused such internal control over financial reporting

(d) Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the registrant's most recent fiscal half-year
(the registrant's second fiscal half-year in the case of
an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's
internal control over financial reporting; and
5. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have
disclosed to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee
of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing
the equivalent functions):
(a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
the design or operation of internal control over
financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
process, summarize, and report financial information;
and
(b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
management or other employees who have a significant
role in the registrant's internal control over financial
reporting.
