m itting tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection
thereof. T h e Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves the
right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in w hole or in part,
and his action in any such respect shall be final. Subject to
these reservations, noncom petitive tenders for each issue for
$200,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder will

T h e income derived from T reasury bills, w hether interest
or gain from the sale or other disposition of the bills, does not
have any exem ption, as such, and loss from the sale or other
disposition of T reasury bills does not have any special treat­
ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code o f 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 taxa­
tion now or hereafter im posed on the principal or interest
thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the United
States, or by any local taxing authority. F or purposes of
taxation the am ount of discount at which T reasury bills are
originally sold by the U nited States is considered to be interest.
U nder Sections 4 5 4 (b ) and 1 22 1 (5 ) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, the am ount of discount at which bills issued
hereunder are sold is not considered to accrue until such bills
are sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills
are excluded from consideration as capital assets. A cco rd in gly ,
the ow ner of T reasury bills (other than life insurance co m ­
panies) issued hereunder need include in his income tax return
only the difference between the price paid for such bills,
whether on original issue or on subsequent purchase, and the
am ount actually received either upon sale or redem ption at
maturity during the taxable year for which the return is m ade,
as ordinary gain or loss.
T reasury D epartm ent Circular N o . 418 (current revision)
