Where, in the income provided for in Article 2(3)(b)(3), the portion corresponding to the contributions made by the employer cannot be identified separately, the amount determined on the basis of a table approved by order (portaria) of the Minister of Finance is treated as employment income.

Quando nos rendimentos previstos no n.º 3) da alínea b) do n.º 3 do artigo 2.º não puder ser discriminada a parte correspondente às contribuições efetuadas pela entidade patronal, considera-se rendimento do trabalho dependente a importância determinada com base em tabela aprovada por portaria do Ministro das Finanças.
