Bydd ymgynghoriad newydd, sy’n cael ei lansio heddiw gan yr Ysgrifennydd Cyllid Mark Drakeford, yn casglu safbwyntiau tan 31 Awst.  


Mae cyfradd uwch o dreth dir y dreth stamp yn cael ei chodi ar hyn o bryd mewn perthynas â phrynu eiddo preswyl ychwanegol ar ôl iddi gael ei chyflwyno gan Lywodraeth y DU a Llywodraeth yr Alban o 1 Ebrill eleni.  
  
Caiff treth dir y dreth stamp ei disodli yng Nghymru yn Ebrill 2018 gan dreth trafodiadau tir newydd. Wrth iddi baratoi ar gyfer datganoli pwerau trethi, mae Llywodraeth Cymru’n ceisio barn y cyhoedd, rhanddeiliaid a phartïon sydd â buddiant am y cyfraddau uwch o dreth trafodiadau tir ar eiddo preswyl ychwanegol yng Nghymru, megis ail gartrefi a phrynu i osod.   
  
Mae'r Swyddfa Cyfrifoldeb Cyllidebol (OBR) wedi amcangyfrif y byddai refeniw yng Nghymru yn sgil y gyfradd uwch ar eiddo preswyl ychwanegol yn codi £9 miliwn yn 2016\-17, gan godi i £14 miliwn yn 2020\-21\. Byddai hyn yn helpu i ariannu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yng Nghymru.  
  
Ac yntau’n lansio’r ymgynghoriad, dywedodd Mark Drakeford:   
  

> "O Ebrill 2018, bydd gan Gymru dreth trafodiadau tir newydd, a fydd yn disodli treth dir y dreth stamp. Mae llawer iawn o waith eisoes ar y gweill i baratoi ar gyfer datganoli pwerau trethi ac rydym wedi ymgynghori'n eang ar sut y bydd y Dreth Trafodiadau Tir newydd i Gymru’n edrych ac yn gweithio.


> "Ers i’r ymgynghoriad gael ei gynnal, bu newid i daliadau treth dir y dreth stamp yn y DU a’r Alban gyda chyfraddau uwch yn cael eu codi ar eiddo preswyl ychwanegol. Dyna pam rydym wedi cyhoeddi Papur Trysorlys Cymru heddiw ynghylch y cyfraddau uwch, i gasglu barn pobl am sut y gallai hyn weithio yng Nghymru pan gaiff y dreth ei datganoli.


> "Rwyf wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau bod ein polisi trethi a’r system ehangach ar gyfer trethi datganoledig yng Nghymru yn deg, yn gydlynol ac yn gydgysylltiedig.  
> "Hoffwn annog prynwyr tai, asiantau, gweithwyr proffesiynol ym maes trethi a rhanddeiliaid i rannu eu safbwyntiau â ni ar y mater pwysig hwn."

A new consultation, launched by Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford today, will gather views until 31 August.  


A higher rate of stamp duty land tax is currently charged on the purchase of additional residential properties following its introduction by the UK and Scottish Governments from 1 April this year.  
  
Stamp duty land tax will be replaced in Wales in April 2018 by a new land transaction tax. As it prepares for the devolution of tax powers, the Welsh Government is seeking the views of the public, stakeholders and interested parties about the higher rates of land transaction tax on additional residential properties in Wales, such as second homes and buy\-to\-lets.     
  
The Office of Budgetary Responsibility (OBR) has estimated the revenues in Wales from the higher rate on additional residential properties would raise £9m in 2016\-17, rising to £14m in 2020\-21, which could help to fund public services in Wales.  
  
Launching the consultation, Mark Drakeford said:    
  

> “From April 2018, Wales will have a new land transaction tax, replacing stamp duty land tax. A great deal of work is already underway to prepare for the devolution of tax powers and we have consulted widely on how a new Welsh land transaction tax will look and work.


> “Since the consultation took place, there has been a change to stamp duty land tax charges in the UK and Scotland with higher rates being charged on additional residential properties. That is why we have today published a Welsh Treasury Paper about the higher rates, to gather people’s views about how this might work in Wales when the tax is devolved.


> “I am committed to ensuring our tax policy and the wider devolved tax system in Wales is fair, coherent and co\-ordinated. I would encourage homebuyers, agents, tax professionals and stakeholders to share their views with us about this important issue.”
