**Published in the official gazette [Rule no. 205/2022, of 11 August](https://files.dre.pt/1s/2022/08/15500/0000600007.pdf), clarifying the terms and conditions applicable to employers that dropped out of the “Extraordinary Incentive for Business Regularization” (introduced by [Decree-law no. 27-B/2020, of 19 June](https://dre.pt/dre/legislacao-consolidada/decreto-lei/2020-136168970) and regulated by Rule no. [170-A/2020, of 13 July](https://dre.pt/dre/legislacao-consolidada/portaria/2020-151734250)), regarding the 50% exemption of Social Security charges for the employer.**





This amendment aims to clarify that the employers that, up to 31 December 2020, dropped out of the “Extraordinary Incentive to Business Regularization” to access the “Extraordinary Aid for the Progressive Resumption of Activity” (introduced by [Decree-law no. 46-A/2020, of 30 July](https://dre.pt/dre/legislacao-consolidada/decreto-lei/2020-145714432)), were entitled to keep the 50% exemption of Social Security charges.
