English: We recognise how important non-domestic rates are in terms of our public services here in Wales. They contribute more than £1 billion to local government and to police services, and those are services that all businesses will benefit from in some way. We do take a different approach here in Wales, because our tax base is different. So, in Wales, the average rateable value is around £20,000, whereas in England, it's around £32,000. So, it's right, I think, that our rates and our reliefs do reflect those differences and the unique circumstances that we have here in Wales. More than 70,000 ratepayers in Wales receive rate relief, so that means that half of all businesses pay no rates at all, so that's where England are moving to. So, they're moving in our direction. And I do understand when businesses are looking across the border at different types of relief, they don't always do so in the context of their own situation. So, when their rateable value is significantly lower, it's important to reflect on the proportion of the support that we're able to offer. We have a wide range of reliefs for businesses and that's something I'm wondering actually if we need to start pulling some of those together. We do have the extension of the high street and retail relief scheme into next year. So, that was an announcement that I was able to make in January of an extra £26.6 million for NDR support and that's in addition to the £230 million that we already provide through our existing relief to help ratepayers with their bills. And that's about supporting all retailers with a rateable value of up to £50,000, and that scheme will support around 15,000 ratepayers. So, we have a variety of schemes targeted at different industries, but obviously, I'll be looking closely at any consequentials that might come and how they might come.
Welsh: Rydym yn cydnabod pa mor bwysig yw ardrethi annomestig mewn perthynas â'n gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yma yng Nghymru. Maent yn cyfrannu mwy na £1 biliwn i lywodraeth leol a gwasanaethau'r heddlu, ac mae'r rheini'n wasanaethau y bydd pob busnes yn elwa arnynt mewn rhyw ffordd. Mae gennym agwedd wahanol yma yng Nghymru, gan fod ein sylfaen drethi yn wahanol. Felly, yng Nghymru, tua £20,000 yw'r gwerth ardrethol ar gyfartaledd, ond yn Lloegr mae oddeutu £32,000. Felly, mae'n iawn, rwy'n credu, fod ein hardrethi a'n rhyddhad yn adlewyrchu'r gwahaniaethau hynny a'r amgylchiadau unigryw sydd gennym yma yng Nghymru. Mae mwy na 70,000 o drethdalwyr yng Nghymru yn cael rhyddhad ardrethi, felly mae hynny'n golygu nad yw hanner yr holl fusnesau'n talu unrhyw ardrethi o gwbl, felly dyna ble y mae Lloegr yn ceisio mynd. Felly, maent yn symud i'n cyfeiriad ni. Ac rwy'n deall pan fydd busnesau'n edrych dros y ffin ar wahanol fathau o ryddhad ardrethi, nid ydynt bob amser yn gwneud hynny yng nghyd-destun eu sefyllfa eu hunain. Felly, pan fydd eu gwerth ardrethol yn sylweddol is, mae'n bwysig ystyried y gyfran o gymorth y gallwn ei chynnig. Mae gennym ystod eang o ryddhad ardrethi ar gyfer busnesau ac rwy'n ystyried a oes angen inni ddechrau tynnu rhai o'r rhain at ei gilydd. Mae cynllun rhyddhad ardrethi'r stryd fawr a manwerthu wedi'i ymestyn i'r flwyddyn nesaf. Felly, roedd hwnnw'n gyhoeddiad y llwyddais i'w wneud ym mis Ionawr ynglŷn â £26.6 miliwn yn ychwanegol ar gyfer cymorth gydag ardrethi annomestig ac mae hwnnw'n ychwanegol at y £230 miliwn rydym eisoes yn ei ddarparu drwy ein rhyddhad ardrethi presennol i helpu trethdalwyr gyda'u biliau. Ac mae hynny'n ymwneud â chefnogi'r holl fanwerthwyr sydd â gwerth ardrethol o hyd at £50,000, a bydd y cynllun hwnnw'n cefnogi tua 15,000 o dalwyr ardrethi. Felly, mae gennym amrywiaeth o gynlluniau wedi'u targedu at wahanol ddiwydiannau, ond yn amlwg, byddaf yn edrych yn ofalus ar unrhyw symiau canlyniadol a allai ddod a sut y gallent ddod.
