Fel rhan o'i haddewid i wneud y dreth gyngor yn decach, mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n gweithio i gynyddu'r nifer sy'n manteisio ar gynllun gostyngiadau'r dreth gyngor, sy'n darparu cymorth i bron 300,000 o aelwydydd yng Nghymru gyda biliau'r dreth gyngor.

Efallai eich bod yn gymwys i dalu llai o dreth gyngor:

* os ydych yn credu eich bod yn byw ar incwm isel
* os ydych yn byw ar eich pen eich hun, neu gyda phobl/plant nad ydynt yn talu'r dreth gyngor
* os ydych yn fyfyriwr
* os ydych yn anabl
* os oes gennych nam meddyliol difrifol

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymuno â'r awdurdodau lleol, MoneySavingExpert.com a sefydliadau'r trydydd sector i ddatblygu cyngor syml a chyson i sicrhau bod gan holl aelwydydd Cymru'r wybodaeth y mae arnynt ei hangen am eu hawliadau i'w cefnogi i dalu eu bil treth gyngor.

Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid, Rebecca Evans:


> “Mae sicrhau bod pawb yng Nghymru yn cael y cymorth treth gyngor y mae ganddyn nhw'r hawl i'w gael yn rhan bwysig o ymrwymiad Llywodraeth Cymru i wneud y dreth gyngor yn decach.
> 
> “Mae'r awdurdodau lleol yn cymryd camau arloesol i nodi a thargedu aelwydydd cymwys a byddwn yn sicrhau bod yr arferion da hyn yn cael eu rhannu a'u mabwysiadu ledled Cymru.
> 
> “Mae llawer o ddisgowntiau, gostyngiadau ac esemptiadau ar gael a hoffwn annog pawb i wirio gwefan Llywodraeth Cymru i weld a allen nhw dalu llai o dreth gyngor.”

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i esemptio'r rhai o dan 25 oed sy'n gadael gofal rhag talu'r dreth gyngor o 1 Ebrill 2019, ar yr amod bod y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn cymeradwyo'r rheoliadau angenrheidiol.

As part of its pledge to make council tax fairer, the Welsh Government is working to improve take\-up of its council tax reduction scheme, which provides support for almost 300,000 households in Wales with their council tax bills.


You may be entitled to pay less council tax if:


* you believe you live on a low income
* you live alone, or with people/children who do not pay council tax
* you are a student
* you are disabled
* you are severely mentally impaired


The Welsh Government has joined forces with local authorities, MoneySavingExpert.com and third sector organisations to develop simple and consistent advice to ensure all households in Wales have the information they need about their entitlements to support them to pay their council tax bill.


Finance Minister Rebecca Evans said:



> “Ensuring every household in Wales receives the council tax support they are entitled to is an important part of the Welsh Government’s commitment to making council tax fairer.
> 
> 
> “Local authorities are taking some innovative action to identify and target eligible households and we will ensure this good practice is shared and adopted throughout Wales.
> 
> 
> “There are many discounts, reductions and exemptions available and I would encourage everyone to check the Welsh Government website to see if they could be paying less council tax.”


The Welsh Government is committed to exempting care leavers under 25 from paying council tax from 1 April 2019, subject to the necessary regulations being approved by the National Assembly.
