F or purposes o f taxa tion the amount o f discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States is considered to be interest. Under Sections 4 5 4 (b ) and 1221(5) o f the Internal Revenue Code o f 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 o f, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) issued hereunder need include in his income ta x return only the difference between the price paid fo r such bills, whether on original issue o r on subsequent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year fo r which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss.
