"If bonuses and dividend payments are too big, the Government has the option of looking at taxation of their profits," he told a news conference.

Dividends are not the problem. Dividends create a return that will encourage investors to buy the shares even new ones. The problem is bonuses. A way to cut bonuses is to reduce the taxes paid on retained earnings and increase the taxes on distributed profits.
