Mae’r pecyn cymorth newydd i fusnesau bach yn rhan o Gyllideb derfynol Llywodraeth Cymru, a fydd yn cael ei gosod gerbron y Cynulliad ddydd Mawrth (20 Rhagfyr).  Bydd y £10m ychwanegol yn cael ei dargedu’n benodol at drethdalwyr y stryd fawr – siopau, tafarnau a chaffis – gan gynnwys y rheini sydd wedi gweld eu hardrethi’n codi’n sylweddol o ganlyniad i’r ailbrisiad a gynhaliwyd yn 2017 gan y corff annibynnol, Asiantaeth y Swyddfa Brisio.

 Bydd y cynllun rhyddhad ardrethi hwn yn cael ei ddarparu drwy gyfrwng grant arbennig \- mae Llywodraeth Cymru a Phlaid Cymru wedi cytuno, mewn trafodaethau cyn y Gyllideb Derfynol, mai trwy grant arbennig y bydd y cymorth yn cael ei roi.

 Wrth gyhoeddi’r cynllun newydd heddiw, dywedodd yr Athro Drakeford:

 
> “Rydym wedi bod yn ystyried sut y gallwn wneud y defnydd gorau o’r cyllid ychwanegol sydd ar gael yn awr yn sgil Datganiad yr Hydref. Mae rhai busnesau mewn gwahanol rannau o Gymru yn gweld cynnydd sylweddol yn eu hardrethi. Mae rhai trefi a chymunedau wedi’u heffeithio mewn modd anghymesur. 
> 
>  “Yn yr un modd, mae ardrethi busnes y stryd fawr yn gostwng mewn sawl ardal, ond mae’r busnesau yn dal i gael trafferthion. Rydym yn awyddus i allu cynnig y cymorth ychwanegol sydd ei angen ar y busnesau hyn. 
> 
>  “Bydd y cynllun rhyddhad hwn, fydd wedi’i dargedu, ar waith erbyn 1 Ebrill y flwyddyn nesaf pan ddaw’r ardrethi diwygiedig i rym. 
> 
>  “Mae hyn yn ychwanegol at ein cynllun rhyddhad trosiannol gwerth £10m, a fydd hefyd ar gael o 1 Ebrill, a’r toriad o £100m yn nhrethi busnesau bach yng Nghymru a ddaw yn sgil y cynllun rhyddhad ardrethi busnesau bach.”

 Dywedodd Adam Price, llefarydd Plaid Cymru ar fusnes, yr economi a chyllid: 

 
> “Mae’n amlwg bod yr ailbrisio diweddar wedi taro busnesau ledled Cymru yn galed. Mae wedi cael effaith arbennig o wael ar sectorau penodol megis twristiaeth, ac mae’n broblem neilltuol mewn rhai rhannau o’r wlad. 
> 
>  “Rydym wedi gwrando ar bryderon busnesau ac wedi annog y llywodraeth i weithredu – rydym yn falch eu bod wedi ymateb mewn modd adeiladol.”

 Dywedodd Leighton Jenkins, Cyfarwyddwr Cynorthwyol a  Phennaeth Polisi CBI Cymru: 

 
> “Rydym yn croesawu’r cam hwn i helpu busnesau’r stryd fawr, boed y rheini yn y sector manwerthu neu’n gysylltiedig â’r diwydiant ymwelwyr. Mae hyn yn gydnabyddiaeth gan Lywodraeth Cymru y bydd ailbrisiad ardrethi 2017 yn cael effaith wahaniaethol ar rannau penodol o’n heconomi.”

 Mae’r cynllun rhyddhad newydd arbennig hwn yn ychwanegol at y cynllun rhyddhad ardrethi trosiannol sy’n werth £10m – cynllun ar gyfer busnesau bach y mae eu hawl i gael rhyddhad ardrethi busnes wedi’i effeithio gan yr ailbrisio.

 Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn cydweithio’n agos â’r awdurdodau lleol i roi’r cynllun ar waith.  Bydd rhagor o fanylion ynghylch sut y bydd y cynllun yn gweithio yn cael eu cyhoeddi ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru.

The new support package for small businesses is part of the Welsh Government’s final Budget, which will be laid before the National Assembly on Tuesday (December 20\). 

 The extra £10m will be targeted at high\-street ratepayers – shops, pubs and cafes – including those which have seen their rates increase significantly as a result of the 2017 revaluation undertaken by the independent Valuation Office Agency. 

 The targeted rate relief scheme will be provided through a special grant – the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru have agreed the relief will be provided via a special grant in discussions ahead of the final Budget.

 Announcing the new scheme today, Professor Drakeford said:

 
> “We have been considering how we can make the best use of the additional funding now available as a result of the Autumn Statement. Some retailers across Wales are seeing substantial increases in their rates. There are towns and communities, which have been disproportionately affected.    
> 
>  “Equally there are many high streets across the country where business rates are falling but retailers are still struggling. We want to be in a position where we can offer these businesses the extra support they need.
> 
>  “This targeted relief scheme will be in place by April 1 next year when the revised rates come into force. 
> 
>  “This is in addition to our £10m transitional relief scheme, also available from April 1 and the £100m tax cut for small businesses in Wales provided by the small business rates relief scheme.”

 Adam Price, Plaid Cymru spokesperson for business, economy and finance, said: 

 
> “The recent revaluation has clearly hit businesses the length and breadth of Wales hard. The impact is especially acute for certain sectors such as tourism, and a particular problem in some regions of the nation. 
> 
>  “We have taken heed of the concerns of businesses, and urged the government to take action – we are glad that they have responded constructively.”

  Leighton Jenkins, Assistant Director and Head of Policy for CBI Wales commented: 

 
> “We welcome this measure to assist businesses on our high streets, whether in the retail sector or associated with the tourism industry. This is recognition by Welsh Government that the 2017 rating revaluation will have a differential impact upon certain parts of our economy.”

 The new special relief scheme is on top of the £10m transitional rate relief scheme for those small businesses whose eligibility for small business rates relief is affected by the revaluation.

 The Welsh Government will be working closely with local authorities to implement the scheme. Further details about how it will operate will be published on the Welsh Government website.
