The plan to take forward regulations to exempt care leavers under 25 from paying council tax is set out as responses to a consultation with local authorities, voluntary organisations, taxpayers and care leavers themselves are published.


The feedback to the consultation has been very positive, with 91% of respondents supporting the proposal to provide this additional help to care leavers and 80% agreeing the exemption should be extended to the age of 25\.


The principle of exempting care leavers from paying council tax has been widely accepted for some time, but the level of support available to care leavers across Wales has been inconsistent.


The new legislation is the latest in a series of measures designed to make council tax fairer in Wales – a key Welsh Government commitment.


Finance Minister Rebecca Evans said:



> “I am keen the Welsh Government and local authorities do everything possible to support care leavers and support their successful transition into adulthood and independent living.
> 
> 
> “Today’s announcement is another positive step in our pledge to make council tax fairer and I want to thank everyone who took part in the consultation.”


As council tax bills start to arrive through the letterboxes of homes across Wales, the Finance Minister is urging people to check if they are entitled to help paying their bill.


The minister added:



> “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 regulations to exempt care leavers from paying council tax will be laid before the National Assembly in early March.

Caiff y cynllun i fwrw ymlaen â rheoliadau i eithrio pobl sy'n gadael gofal ac sydd o dan 25 oed rhag talu'r dreth gyngor ei amlinellu wrth i ymatebion i ymgynghoriad ag awdurdodau lleol, sefydliadau gwirfoddol, trethdalwyr a'r bobl ifanc eu hunain gael eu cyhoeddi.

Mae'r ymateb i'r ymgynghoriad wedi bod yn gadarnhaol iawn, gyda 91% o'r ymatebwyr yn cefnogi'r cynnig i roi'r cymorth ychwanegol hwn i bobl ifanc sy'n gadael gofal, ac 80% yn cytuno y dylai'r eithriad gael ei ymestyn i'r rheini sy'n 25 oed.   

Mae'r egwyddor y dylid eithrio pobl sy'n gadael gofal rhag talu'r dreth gyngor wedi cael ei derbyn yn eang ers peth amser, ond mae'r lefel o gymorth sydd ar gael i bobl sy'n gadael gofal ledled Cymru wedi bod yn anghyson.  

Y ddeddfwriaeth newydd yw'r ddiweddaraf mewn cyfres o fesurau i sicrhau bod y system dreth gyngor yn decach yng Nghymru \- un o ymrwymiadau allweddol Llywodraeth Cymru. 

Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid, Rebecca Evans:


> “Rwyf eisiau sicrhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru a'n hawdurdodau lleol yn gwneud pob peth o fewn ein gallu i gefnogi'r rhai sy'n gadael gofal a'u cynorthwyo wrth iddynt dyfu'n oedolion a byw'n annibynnol. 
> 
> "Mae'r cyhoeddiad heddiw yn gam cadarnhaol arall yn ein hadduned i wneud y dreth gyngor yn decach, a hoffwn ddiolch i bawb a gymerodd ran yn yr ymgynghoriad."

Wrth i filiau'r dreth gyngor ddechrau cyrraedd blychau post cartrefi Cymru, mae'r Gweinidog Cyllid yn annog pobl i edrych a oes ganddynt hawl i gael cymorth i dalu eu bil.

Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog Cyllid:


> “Mae llawer o ddisgowntiau, gostyngiadau ac esemptiadau ar gael a hoffwn annog pawb i edrych ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru i weld a allen nhw dalu llai o dreth gyngor.”

Caiff y rheoliadau i eithrio pobl sy'n gadael gofal rhag talu'r dreth gyngor eu gosod gerbron y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol ddechrau mis Mawrth.
