T he income derived from T reasury bills, w hether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition of th e bills, does not have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition of Treasury bills does not have any special treatm ent, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. T he bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, w hether F ederal or State, bu t are exem pt from all taxation now or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the U nited States, or by any local taxing authority. F o r purposes of taxation th e am ount of discount a t which T reasury bills are originally sold by the U nited States is considered to be in te re st U nder Sections 454 (b ) and 1221 (5 ) of th e Internal Revenue Code of 1954 the am ount of discount a t which bills issued hereunder are sold is not considered to accrue until such bills are sold, redeem ed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of T reasury bills (other th an life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his income tax return only the difference between th e price paid for such bills, w hether on original issue or on subsequent purchase, and th e am ount actually received either upon sale or redem ption a t m aturity during the taxable year for which th e return is made, as ordinary gain or loss.
