T h e incom e derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition o f the bills, does not have any exem ption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition o f Treasury bills does not have any special treatment, as such, under the Internal Revenue C ode of 1954. T h e bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exem pt from all taxation now or hereafter im posed on the principal or interest thereof b y any State, or any o f the possessions of tire United States, or by any local taxing authority. For purposes o f taxation the amount of discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold b y the United States is considered to be interest. Under Sections 454 ( b ) and 1221 ( 5 ) o f the Internal R evenue C ode of 1954 the amount o f discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold is not con sidered to accrue until such bills are sold, redeem ed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital assets. A ccordingly, the owner of 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 redem ption at m aturity during the taxable year for which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss. Treasury D epartm ent Circular No. 418 (current revision) and this notice, prescribe the terms o f the Treasury bills and govern the conditions o f their issue. Copies o f the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.
