According to the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers, according to the new rules, state-owned companies will have to allocate at least 50% of adjusted net profit for dividends.

It is noted that several innovations are being introduced.

So, for all, the general standard for deductions on dividends will apply, and when calculating the dividend base, income and expenses that are not confirmed by cash flows will not be taken into account.

The initiative is expected to make treasury receipts more predictable, increase transparency, and balance the investment activity of state-owned companies and their obligations to shareholders.

Earlier, Mishustin said that progressive income tax rates or other mechanisms should be applied to companies that aggressively withdraw funds abroad.
