English: Welsh Conservatives will be supporting this motion today. I appreciate it's a short motion, but it is a very important one, an historic one: the setting of income tax rates - the WRIT - for the first time in Wales. After many months, many years, of talking about this process, we are now in it. Admittedly, the rates being considered today are simply replacing the UK part of taxation that has been removed, as part of the transitional phase. So, we always knew, really, that the income tax rates that are being set today were going to be at that level and there'll be very little difference noticed out there on the streets and in houses by people paying the Welsh rate of income tax - at this point, anyway. Gweinidog, the Welsh taxpayer needs to have confidence that these tax rates in Wales will remain competitive in the future. Can you give us an assurance - obviously not in this year, because the decision's been made, but looking beyond 2020-21 - that every effort will be made to make sure that not only tax rates in Wales remain competitive, but that efforts are made as well to grow the Welsh tax base? Because, obviously, if we have a larger Welsh tax base and we have more higher-rate taxpayers in Wales, then the burden is spread across a larger number of people. So, you can actually get more tax in by actually not raising tax rates, but by taxing that larger number of people at a higher rate. That's something I'm sure you'll have to work with the First Minister and with the Minister for economy to achieve. Can you also clarify if problems that were raised with Finance Committee some time ago with regard to identifying all Welsh taxpayers - I think there was a proposal about using postcodes at one point - have been ironed out successfully? How are you going to ensure that forecasting is as sharp as it can be and as it needs to be in future to make sure that, when it comes to making decisions about changes in future tax rates - by a future Welsh Government, now - those decisions are based on as solid economic data as possible?
Welsh: Fe fydd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn cefnogi'r cynnig hwn heddiw. Rwy'n deall mai cynnig byr yw hwn, ond mae'n un pwysig iawn, yn un hanesyddol: pennu cyfraddau treth incwm - CTIC - am y tro cyntaf yng Nghymru. Wedi misoedd lawer, blynyddoedd lawer, o siarad am y broses hon, rydym ni ynddi nawr. Mae'n rhaid cyfaddef mai dim ond disodli'r rhan o drethiant sydd wedi ei dileu yn y DU a wna'r cyfraddau sy'n cael eu hystyried heddiw, fel rhan o'r cyfnod pontio. Felly, roeddem bob amser yn gwybod, mewn gwirionedd, bod y cyfraddau treth incwm sy'n cael eu pennu heddiw yn mynd i fod ar y lefel honno ac ni fydd yn gwneud llawer o wahaniaeth i bobl ar lawr gwlad ac yn eu cartrefi sy'n talu'r gyfradd Gymreig o dreth incwm - ar hyn o bryd, beth bynnag. Gweinidog, mae angen i drethdalwyr Cymru fod yn hyderus y bydd y cyfraddau treth hyn yng Nghymru yn aros yn gystadleuol yn y dyfodol. A wnewch chi roi sicrwydd i ni - nid eleni'n amlwg, oherwydd bod y penderfyniad wedi cael ei wneud, ond wrth edrych y tu hwnt i 2020-21 - y gwneir pob ymdrech i sicrhau nid yn unig fod cyfraddau treth yng Nghymru yn parhau i fod yn gystadleuol, ond y gwneir ymdrechion hefyd i gynyddu sylfaen drethu Cymru? Oherwydd, yn amlwg, os oes gennym sylfaen drethu yng Nghymru sy'n ehangach a bod gennym fwy o drethdalwyr ar gyfradd uwch yng Nghymru, yna fe fydd y baich yn cael ei ysgwyddo gan nifer uwch o bobl. Felly, fe allwch chi gasglu mwy o dreth mewn gwirionedd drwy beidio â chodi cyfraddau treth, ond drwy drethu'r nifer uwch honno o bobl ar gyfradd uwch. Mae hynny'n rhywbeth rwy'n siŵr y bydd yn rhaid ichi weithio gyda'r Prif Weinidog a Gweinidog yr economi i'w gyflawni. A wnewch chi egluro hefyd a gafodd y problemau a godwyd gyda'r Pwyllgor Cyllid beth amser yn ôl, o ran nodi holl drethdalwyr Cymru - rwy'n credu y bu cynnig i ddefnyddio codau post ar un adeg - eu datrys yn llwyddiannus? Sut ydych chi'n mynd i sicrhau bod rhagolygon mor gywir ag y gallen nhw fod, ac fel y mae angen iddyn nhw fod yn y dyfodol i sicrhau, pan ddaw'n fater o benderfynu ar newidiadau yng nghyfraddau treth y dyfodol - gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn y dyfodol - fod y penderfyniadau hynny'n seiliedig ar ddata economaidd sydd mor gadarn â phosibl?
