Ar 1 Ebrill 2018, agorodd Awdurdod Cyllid Cymru yn swyddogol ar gyfer busnes: gan gasglu a rheoli’r trethi datganoledig cyntaf yng Nghymru ers dros 800 mlynedd. Mae’r chwe mis cyntaf o weithredu wedi bod yn heriol ac yn gyffrous, ac rwyf mor falch o’r hyn rydym ni wedi gallu ei gyflawni, diolch i gefnogaeth gyson y partneriaid lu sydd wedi bod yn gefn i ni ar y daith hon hyd yma.


Mewn cyfnod byr iawn, rydym ni wedi:


* rhoi gwasanaeth trethi digidol, dwyieithog ar waith
* wedi recriwtio dros 65 o aelodau staff llawn amser ar draws 16 proffesiwn
* wedi cydweithio â nifer o bartneriaid i gynllunio, mireinio a gweithredu ein prosesau, systemau a chanllawiau
* wedi parhau i ymwneud ag amrywiaeth eang o randdeiliaid allweddol i helpu pobl i dalu'r swm cywir o dreth ar yr adeg gywir.


Ni fyddem wedi llwyddo i gyrraedd y cam yma heb gefnogaeth gyson cynrychiolwyr trethdalwyr, sefydliadau partner, fel Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru, rhanddeiliaid eraill, gan gynnwys CThEM, ac wrth gwrs cydweithwyr yn Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae eu cyngor wedi bod yn amhrisiadwy wrth i ni gychwyn gwireddu’r dasg o weithredu system drethi deg ar gyfer Cymru.


Mae'r dull hwn o weithio mewn partneriaeth i weinyddu trethi yn ganolog i bopeth a wnawn ac i’r hyn rydym ni’n gobeithio ei gyflawni yn Awdurdod Cyllid Cymru. Mae ‘Ein Dull o Weithredu’, sy’n esbonio ein ffordd o weithio, yn defnyddio tri gair Cymraeg  ‘Cydweithio’, ‘Cadarnhau’, a ‘Cywiro’ i esbonio sut byddwn ni’n gweithio ar y cyd i sicrhau bod trethi’n cael eu casglu’n effeithlon ac yn effeithiol.


Cafodd ‘Ein Dull o Weithredu’ ei ysbrydoli gan ‘Ein Siarter’, sy’n cynnwys wyth o gredoau, gwerthoedd a chyfrifoldebau a rennir, a chanlyniad gwaith agos gydag amrywiaeth eang o bartneriaid cyn i ni ddechrau gweithredu ym mis Ebrill. Mae mwy o esboniad am y rhain yn y Cynllun Corfforaethol ar gyfer ein blwyddyn gyntaf. Byddwn yn hoffi cael adborth am ein dull o weithredu gyda threthi. Rydym ni’n awyddus i ymgysylltu, gwrando, dysgu ac addasu.


Wrth symud yn ein blaenau, rwy’n sylweddoli bod angen i ni barhau i adeiladu ar y momentwm hwn, a byddaf yn rhoi rhagor o wybodaeth mewn cylchlythyrau yn y dyfodol am sut byddwn yn cyflawni hyn. Am y tro, hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i bawb sydd wedi helpu i ddatblygu Awdurdod Cyllid Cymru. Rwy’n edrych ymlaen at barhau i wasanaethu fel Prif Weithredwr ar y daith anhygoel hon.

On the 1 April 2018, the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) officially opened for business: collecting and managing the first Welsh devolved taxes in over 800 years. It’s been a challenging and exciting 6 month of operations, and I’m so proud of what we have been able to achieve, with thanks to the ongoing support of numerous partners who have backed this journey so far.


In a short space of time, we have:


* implemented a bilingual, digital tax service
* recruited over 65 full\-time members of staff across 16 professions
* collaborated with many partners to design, refine and implement our processes, systems and guidance
* continued to engage with a wide range of key stakeholders to help people to pay the right amount of tax at the right time.


We could not have reached this point without the continued support of taxpayer representatives, partner organisations, such as Natural Resources Wales, other stakeholders, including HMRC, and of course colleagues in Welsh Government. Their advice has been invaluable in starting to make a reality of delivering a fair tax system for Wales.


This partnership\-led approach to tax administration is central to everything we do and hope to achieve at the WRA. ‘Our Approach’, which explains our way of operating, uses 3 Welsh terms ‘Cydweithio’, ‘Cardarnhau’, ‘Cywiro’ to explain how we will work collaboratively to ensure taxes are collected efficiently and effectively.


‘Our Approach’ was inspired by ‘Our Charter’, which consists of 8 shared beliefs, values and responsibilities, and the result of close work with a wide range of partners before we started operating in April. Both are explained in more detail in our first\-year Corporate Plan. I would like to encourage feedback on our approach to tax. We want to engage, listen, learn and adapt.


Moving forward, I recognise that we need to continue to build upon this momentum, and I will provide more information in future newsletters as to how we will achieve this. For now, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been involved in supporting the development of the WRA. I look forward to continuing to serve as Chief Executive on this extraordinary journey.
