A ccordin gly, the owner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance co m 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.
