Rwyf heddiw’n cyhoeddi crynodeb o'r ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad technegol ar Reoliadau Ardrethu Annomestig (Newid Rhestrau ac Apelau) 2023 drafft ("y Rheoliadau"). Rwyf hefyd yn cadarnhau y byddwn yn bwrw ymlaen â’r diwygiadau i'r system apelio ar gyfer ardrethi annomestig, y bydd y Rheoliadau’n sail iddynt.


Roedd Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymgynghori eisoes ar gynigion i ddiwygio'r system apelio ar gyfer ardrethi annomestig, a hynny rhwng 17 Hydref 2017 a 9 Ionawr 2018. Un o'r negeseuon allweddol a ddeilliodd o’r ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad oedd na ddylid gwneud unrhyw newidiadau hanner ffordd drwy restr ardrethu annomestig ac mai'r amser gorau ar gyfer newidiadau fyddai adeg ailbrisiad. Bydd yr ailbrisiad nesaf yn cael ei weithredu ar 1 Ebrill 2023\.  


Ar 29 Mawrth 2022, fe wnes i Ddatganiad Llafar yn nodi cynlluniau Llywodraeth Cymru i ddiwygio trethi annomestig yn ystod tymor presennol y Senedd. Mae'r cynlluniau hyn yn cynnwys cynnal ailbrisiadau amlach yn y dyfodol. Bydd newidiadau i'r system apelio, a ategir drwy fabwysiadu platfform digidol a gyflwynir gan Asiantaeth y Swyddfa Brisio, yn sbardun allweddol ar gyfer yr amcan hwn, gan sicrhau y gall talwyr ardrethi yng Nghymru elwa ar welliannau parhaus.


Cynhaliwyd ymgynghoriad technegol ar ddrafft o'r Rheoliadau rhwng 19 Gorffennaf a 11 Hydref 2022\. Gofynnwyd am farn ynghylch eglurder y Rheoliadau ac am unrhyw sylwadau eraill amdanynt


Yn dilyn yr ymgynghoriad, byddwn yn gwneud newidiadau drafftio bach i’r  Rheoliadau, er mwyn sicrhau eu bod yn cyflawni'r bwriad polisi. Byddaf yn cyflwyno'r Rheoliadau maes o law ac, yn amodol ar gymeradwyaeth y Senedd, ein bwriad o hyd yw y byddant yn dod i rym ar 1 Ebrill 2023\.


Mae crynodeb o'r ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad technegol ar gael.

Today I am publishing a summary of responses to the technical consultation on the draft Non\-Domestic Rating (Alteration of Lists and Appeals) Regulations 2023 (“the Regulations”). I am also confirming that we will move forward with the reforms to the non\-domestic rates appeals system which the Regulations will underpin.


The Welsh Government previously consulted on proposals for reform of the non\-domestic rating (NDR) appeals system, between 17 October 2017 and 9 January 2018. One of the key messages from the consultation responses was that no changes should be made midway through an NDR list and the optimal timing for changes would be to coincide with a revaluation. The next revaluation will be implemented on 1 April 2023\.


On 29 March 2022, I made an Oral Statement setting out the Welsh Government’s plans to reform non\-domestic rates during the current Senedd term. These plans include pursuing more frequent revaluations in the future. Changes to the appeals system, underpinned by the adoption of a digital platform delivered by the Valuation Office Agency, will be a critical enabler for this objective, ensuring that ratepayers in Wales are able to benefit from ongoing improvements.


A technical consultation on a draft of the Regulations ran from 19 July to 11 October 2022\. It asked for views on the clarity of the Regulations and for any other comments about them.


Following the consultation, we will be making a small number of changes to the drafting of the Regulations, to ensure they achieve the policy intention. I will bring forward the Regulations in due course and, subject to the approval of the Senedd, it remains our intention that they will come into force on 1 April 2023\.


A summary of responses to the technical consultation is available.
