English: Thank you for raising that issue. I think there are several important things there, including our immediate response in terms of non-domestic rates. You'll be aware that I've frozen the multiplier for next year, and that of course gives small businesses a boost. And also, of course, I've provided the 100 per cent rates relief for retail, leisure and hospitality businesses for next year, and that support in itself provides over £360 million of relief to ratepayers across Wales. Of course, we have taken out of that the large supermarkets, because clearly they don't need that kind of support at this time. We do have a permanent package of rate relief of over £239 million a year and over half of that goes towards the small business rate relief scheme, reducing bills to zero for ratepayers occupying properties with a rateable value of up to £6,000, and on a tapered basis then to £12,000. That is a generous package and a large percentage of businesses benefit from that by paying no rates at all. But as I was describing in my answer to Rhun ap Iorwerth earlier on this afternoon, the Welsh Government has undertaken a major series of research endeavours and commissioned research to ensure that we do have the information that we need to really think properly about the future of local finance. We're looking at non-domestic rates and council tax and what the future should be for both of those in order to ensure that as we move forward, the system is as progressive as possible and to ensure that it does continue, of course, to bring in funding for the Welsh Government to provide local services, but to do so in a way that is progressive and fair.
Welsh: Diolch ichi am godi'r mater hwnnw. Credaf fod sawl peth pwysig yno, gan gynnwys ein hymateb uniongyrchol o ran ardrethi annomestig. Fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol fy mod wedi rhewi'r lluosydd ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf, ac wrth gwrs mae hynny'n rhoi hwb i fusnesau bach. Hefyd, wrth gwrs, rwyf wedi darparu'r rhyddhad ardrethi o 100 y cant i fusnesau manwerthu, hamdden a lletygarwch ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf, ac mae'r cymorth hwnnw ynddo'i hun yn darparu dros £360 miliwn o ryddhad i drethdalwyr ledled Cymru. Wrth gwrs, rydym wedi eithrio'r archfarchnadoedd mawr, oherwydd mae'n amlwg nad oes angen y math hwnnw o gymorth arnynt hwy ar yr adeg hon. Mae gennym becyn parhaol o ryddhad ardrethi o dros £239 miliwn y flwyddyn ac mae dros ei hanner yn mynd tuag at y cynllun rhyddhad ardrethi i fusnesau bach, gan ostwng biliau i sero ar gyfer trethdalwyr mewn eiddo sydd â gwerth ardrethol o hyd at £6,000, ac ar sail tapr wedyn hyd at £12,000. Mae hwnnw'n becyn hael ac mae canran fawr o fusnesau'n elwa ohono drwy beidio â gorfod talu unrhyw ardrethi o gwbl. Ond fel roeddwn yn ei ddisgrifio yn fy ateb i Rhun ap Iorwerth yn gynharach y prynhawn yma, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyflawni cyfres bwysig o fentrau ymchwil ac wedi comisiynu ymchwil i sicrhau bod gennym yr wybodaeth rydym ei hangen i feddwl o ddifrif am ddyfodol cyllid lleol. Rydym yn edrych ar ardrethi annomestig a'r dreth gyngor a sut y dylai'r rheini fod yn y dyfodol er mwyn sicrhau, wrth inni symud ymlaen, fod y system mor flaengar â phosibl a sicrhau ei bod yn parhau, wrth gwrs, i ddod â chyllid i mewn i Lywodraeth Cymru ddarparu gwasanaethau lleol, ond i wneud hynny mewn ffordd sy'n flaengar ac yn deg.
