We report the results of our improved calculation of the radiative cor
rections to the decay tau --> pi(K)nu(tau) which includes internal bre
msstrahlung and structure dependent radiation in the radiative decay a
nd point meson, hadronic structure dependent and short distance contri
butions in the virtual corrections. Our result for the radiative corre
ction to the ratio GAMMA(tau --> pinu(tau)(gamma))/GAMMA(pi --> munu(m
u)(gamma)) is deltaR(tau/pi) = (0.16(-0.14)+0.09)%. For the ratio GAMM
A(tau --> Knu(tau)(gamma))/GAMMA(K --> munu(mu)(gamma)), we obtain del
ta(tau/K) = (0.90(-0.22)+0.04)%.
