In the first budget since the pandemic, the package delivers an extra £176 million for local government to support schools, social care and local services that have been critical to our response to the pandemic. The package includes a £10 million boost to the Social Care Grant, which now stands at £50 million, in recognition of the significant impact the pandemic has had on the sector.


Investment in affordable and social housing will grow to £200 million next year, stimulating jobs and training while providing 3,500 additional new homes. The Welsh Government’s mission to end homelessness will also be boosted by an extra £40 million for the Housing Support Grant.


In a difficult financial year, social housing investment will be supported by a 1% increase in the higher residential rates of Land Transaction Tax. This will mean moderately higher taxes paid on the purchase of additional properties, such as second homes and buy to let investments, will support new social housing and jobs to help Wales recover.


A targeted tax reduction will also help businesses recovering from the worst of the pandemic. Most businesses purchasing non\-residential properties costing less than £225,000 won’t pay any Land Transaction Tax, as the threshold is raised by 50%.


Together these changes will generate around £13 million per annum for investment in social housing priorities.


To help build a greener future, an extra £40 million will be provided for modern education infrastructure, including £5 million for a net\-zero schools pilot and a further £5 million to develop Wales’ National Forest and invest in wider biodiversity. We will also continue to decarbonise transport, boosting the funding for active travel by £20 million, and providing a total investment of £274\.7 million in rail and metro. A further £20 million will also be dedicated to tackling fuel poverty and supporting renewable energy programmes.


Over £20m has been provided to support predicted growing student numbers across sixth form and Further Education as more people stay in post\-compulsory education, investing in Wales’ future, and £9\.4 million will support crucial community and school mental health services.


As we drive forward change for a fairer and more equal society an additional £13\.4 million will be provided to support children and young people, including £8\.3 million to take forward our flagship curriculum reform alongside targeted support for the most vulnerable. We are investing more to help workers on low incomes upskill and retrain with a £5\.4 million boost to the free and flexible courses offered through Personal Learning Accounts.


The Welsh Government is also today providing an initial Covid response package of £77 million to provide certainty where it is most needed, including ensuring essential schemes such as free school meals and contact tracing are extended next year.


Finance Minister Rebecca Evans said:



> “As we plan for our first steps beyond the pandemic, this budget is designed to protect health and our economy, build a greener future and create change for a more prosperous, more equal, and a greener Wales.
> 
> 
> “Despite the most challenging circumstances we have ever faced as a government, I am proud to announce a budget that delivers on our values and provides sound foundations for the next administration.
>

> “While like for like funding per person in Wales remains below 2010 levels, our priorities will steer a course for stability, protecting what matters most and creating the change that is essential to a good recovery.”

Yn y Gyllideb gyntaf ers y pandemig, mae’r pecyn yn rhoi £176m yn ychwanegol i lywodraeth leol i gefnogi ysgolion, gofal cymdeithasol a gwasanaethau lleol sydd wedi bod yn hanfodol ar gyfer ein hymateb i’r pandemig. Mae’r pecyn yn cynnwys hwb o £10m i’r Grant Gofal Cymdeithasol, sydd bellach yn £50m, i gydnabod effaith sylweddol y pandemig ar y sector.


Bydd buddsoddiad mewn tai cymdeithasol a thai fforddiadwy yn cynyddu i £200m y flwyddyn nesaf, gan ysgogi swyddi a hyfforddiant wrth ddarparu 3,500 yn ychwanegol o gartrefi newydd. Bydd ymgais Llywodraeth Cymru i roi diwedd ar ddigartrefedd hefyd yn cael hwb yn sgil £40m arall i’r Grant Cymorth Tai.


Mewn blwyddyn ariannol anodd, bydd buddsoddiad mewn tai cymdeithasol yn cael cefnogaeth drwy 1% o gynnydd yng nghyfraddau preswyl uwch y Dreth Trafodiadau Tir. Bydd hyn yn golygu bod y trethi cymharol uwch a delir wrth brynu eiddo ychwanegol, fel ail gartrefi neu fuddsoddiadau prynu i osod, yn cefnogi tai cymdeithasol a swyddi newydd gan helpu i adfer Cymru.


Bydd gostyngiad treth wedi’i dargedu hefyd yn helpu busnesau sy’n adfer o effeithiau gwaethaf y pandemig. Ni fydd y rhan fwyaf o fusnesau sy’n prynu eiddo amhreswyl am lai na £225,000 yn talu unrhyw Dreth Trafodiadau Tir, gan fod y trothwy wedi codi 50%.


Gyda’i gilydd, bydd y newidiadau hyn yn cynhyrchu tua £13m y flwyddyn i’w fuddsoddi mewn blaenoriaethau tai cymdeithasol.


Er mwyn helpu i adeiladu dyfodol gwyrddach, bydd £40m arall yn cael ei ddarparu ar gyfer seilwaith addysg fodern, gan gynnwys £5m ar gyfer cynllun peilot ysgolion carbon sero\-net, a £5m arall i ddatblygu Fforest Genedlaethol Cymru a buddsoddi mewn bioamrywiaeth ehangach. Byddwn yn parhau i ddatgarboneiddio trafnidiaeth, gan roi hwb o £20m i'r cyllid ar gyfer teithio llesol, a darparu cyfanswm buddsoddiad o £274\.7m mewn rheilffyrdd a'r metro. Bydd £20m arall hefyd yn cael ei neilltuo i fynd i’r afael â thlodi tanwydd a chefnogi rhaglenni ynni adnewyddadwy.


Mae dros £20m wedi’i ddarparu i gefnogi’r cynnydd a ragwelir yn nifer y myfyrwyr ar draws chweched dosbarthiadau ac addysg bellach wrth i fwy o bobl aros mewn addysg ôl\-orfodol, gan fuddsoddi yn nyfodol Cymru, a bydd £9\.4m yn cefnogi gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl hanfodol mewn ysgolion ac yn y gymuned.


Wrth hyrwyddo'r newid rydym am ei weld ar gyfer cymdeithas decach a mwy cyfartal, bydd £13\.4m yn ychwanegol yn cael ei ddarparu i gefnogi plant a phobl ifanc, gan gynnwys £8\.3m ar gyfer diwygio'r cwricwlwm, wrth ochr cymorth wedi’i dargedu i’r rhai mwyaf agored i niwed. Rydym yn buddsoddi mwy i helpu gweithwyr ar incwm isel i ailhyfforddi gyda hwb o £5\.4m i'r cyrsiau am ddim a hyblyg a gynigir drwy Gyfrifon Dysgu Personol.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru hefyd yn darparu pecyn cychwynnol o £77m o gyllid i ymateb i Covid, er mwyn rhoi sicrwydd lle mae ei angen fwyaf, gan gynnwys sicrhau bod cynlluniau hanfodol fel prydau ysgol am ddim a gwasanaethau olrhain cysylltiadau yn cael eu hymestyn y flwyddyn nesaf.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid, Rebecca Evans:



> “Wrth i ni baratoi ar gyfer ein camau cyntaf y tu hwnt i’r pandemig, lluniwyd y Gyllideb hon i ddiogelu iechyd a’n heconomi, adeiladu dyfodol gwyrddach a chreu newid ar gyfer Cymru fwy ffyniannus, fwy cyfartal a gwyrddach.
> 
> 
> “Er gwaetha’r amgylchiadau mwyaf heriol i ni eu hwynebu erioed fel Llywodraeth, rwy’n falch o gyhoeddi cyllideb sy’n cyflawni ein gwerthoedd, ac sy’n rhoi sylfaen gadarn ar gyfer y weinyddiaeth nesaf.
> 
> 
> “Er bod y cyllid cyfatebol y pen yng Nghymru yn parhau i fod yn is na lefelau 2010, bydd ein blaenoriaethau yn ein harwain i sicrhau sefydlogrwydd, diogelu’r hyn sydd bwysicaf a chreu’r newid sy’n hanfodol ar gyfer adferiad.”
