disposition o f Treasury bills does not have any special treat­
ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954. The

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 o f the possessions o f the United
States, or by any local taxing authority. F or purposes of
taxation the am ount o f discount at which Treasury bills are
originally sold by the U nited States is considered to be inter­
est. U nder Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) o f the Internal R ev­
enue C ode o f 1954, the amount o f discount at w hich 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 ccordin gly, the owner o f Treasury bills (oth er than life in­
surance 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 pur­
chase, 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.
