The bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exempt from all taxa tion now or hereafter im posed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the United States, or by any local taxing authority. For purposes of taxa tion the amount of discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States is considered to be interest. U nder Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 the amount o f discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold is not considered to accrue until such bills are sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital assets. A ccordin gly, the ow ner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his incom e tax return only the difference between the price paid for such bills, whether on original issue or on subsequent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year for which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss.
