Accordingly, th e owner of T reasury bills (other than 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 the 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.
