Where the determination of taxable income on the basis of the accounts ceases during the period laid down in Article 22 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, the portion of the subsidies not yet taxed is attributed, for tax purposes, to the last year in which that regime applied.

Cessando a determinação do rendimento tributável com base na contabilidade no decurso do período estabelecido no artigo 22.º do Código do IRC, a parte dos subsídios ainda não tributada será imputada, para efeitos de tributação, ao último exercício de aplicação daquele regime.
