English: Finance Minister, I agree with much of what you said about the Welsh Revenue Authority and how well it's doing as an organisation. I've also enjoyed at least one of the tax conferences you've had. I don't think the success of the WRA is because it's done on a Welsh basis rather than a UK basis, but I do think it goes to show how much more efficiently public services can be delivered when you start with a clean slate and you don't have the legacy IT systems. I think moving all the IT to the cloud and the way they've managed that has been a real success. You spoke very shortly about Welsh rates of income tax. Clearly, we're unhappy that they've been devolved without the referendum that was previously promised. However, can I ask you to update us about what the revenue loss is because of this devolution of these Welsh rates? Clearly, they haven't been changed yet, so it hasn't had the level of public interest that it would if they were changed, certainly if the taxes went up. But is it not the case that the yield from this 10 per cent of the Welsh rates is less than was expected? And although there's still a degree of protection, do we not know from the Office for Budget Responsibility that we're now having substantially less money because of that level of devolution? Can you confirm how many million that now is? Finally from me, you say that the process for new taxes has failed in its first test. I would say that it has succeeded in that it's stopped new taxes being devolved. The Welsh Government has looked at this mechanism and seems to have assumed that its intention is for lots more taxes - additional taxes that people might like to have for whatever reason - to be devolved. Actually, the process has stopped that, and that is something that we welcome. The First Minister, in his previous role, said he wants to test the machinery. That's now been done; it isn't leading to the new devolution of taxes, thankfully. Therefore -
Welsh: Gweinidog Cyllid, rwy'n cytuno â llawer o'r hyn y gwnaethoch chi ei ddweud am Awdurdod Cyllid Cymru a pha mor dda y mae'n llwyddo fel sefydliad. Rwyf hefyd wedi mwynhau o leiaf un o'r cynadleddau treth yr ydych chi wedi'u cynnal. Dydw i ddim yn credu mai'r rheswm dros lwyddiant ACC yw oherwydd ei fod wedi'i wneud ar sail Cymru yn hytrach na sail y DU, ond rwy'n credu ei fod yn mynd i ddangos faint yn fwy effeithlon y gellir darparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus pan fyddwch yn dechrau gyda llechen lân ac nad oes gennych y systemau TG a etifeddwyd. Rwy'n credu bod symud yr holl TG i'r system gwmwl a'r ffordd y maen nhw wedi rheoli hynny wedi bod yn llwyddiant gwirioneddol. Gwnaethoch sôn yn fyr iawn am gyfraddau treth incwm Cymru. Yn amlwg, rydym yn anhapus eu bod wedi'u datganoli heb y refferendwm a addawyd yn flaenorol. Fodd bynnag, a gaf i ofyn i chi roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf inni am y golled refeniw yn sgil datganoli'r cyfraddau hyn yng Nghymru? Yn amlwg, nid ydyn nhw wedi cael eu newid eto, felly nid ydyn nhw wedi cael y lefel o ddiddordeb cyhoeddus y byddent wedi'i gael pe baent wedi eu newid, yn sicr pe bai'r trethi'n codi. Onid yw'n wir fod yr arenillion o'r 10 y cant hwn o gyfraddau Cymru yn llai na'r disgwyl? Ac er bod rhywfaint o amddiffyniad o hyd, oni wyddom gan y Swyddfa Cyfrifoldeb Cyllidebol ein bod bellach yn cael llawer llai o arian oherwydd y lefel honno o ddatganoli? A allwch gadarnhau sawl miliwn yw hynny nawr? Yn olaf gennyf fi, rydych chi'n dweud fod y broses ar gyfer trethi newydd wedi methu yn ei brawf cyntaf. Byddwn i'n dweud ei fod wedi llwyddo gan ei fod wedi atal datganoli trethi newydd. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi edrych ar y dull hwn ac ymddengys ei bod wedi tybio mai ei bwriad yw datganoli llawer mwy o drethi - trethi ychwanegol y byddai pobl yn hoffi eu cael efallai am ba reswm bynnag - . Mewn gwirionedd, mae'r broses wedi atal hynny, ac mae hynny'n rhywbeth yr ydym yn ei groesawu. Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog, yn ei swyddogaeth flaenorol, ei fod am brofi'r dulliau. Mae hynny wedi'i wneud erbyn hyn; nid yw'n arwain at ddatganoli trethi newydd, diolch byth. Felly -
