Pan fo aelwydydd sy'n gweithio'n mynd i ôl-ddyledion gyda'u treth gyngor, mae modd i awdurdodau lleol ofyn am orchymyn atafaelu enillion er mwyn adennill yr ôl-ddyledion o'u henillion mewn rhandaliadau. Mae maint yr arian y gellir ei adennill yn dibynnu ar derfynau sy'n seiliedig ar drothwyon enillion a nodir mewn deddfwriaeth. Bydd y newidiadau i'r rheoliadau a osodwyd gennyf heddiw yn rhoi cyfle i dalwyr y dreth gyngor sydd mewn ôl-ddyledion ac sydd ar incwm isel gadw mwy o'u henillion wythnosol neu fisol a lledaenu cost eu dyled. Roedd yn bleser mawr gennyf weld cefnogaeth gadarn am y cynnig yn yr ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad a ddaeth i law.
Where working households fall into arrears with their council tax, local authorities may apply for an attachment of earnings order to recover the arrears in instalments from their earnings.  The amounts which may be recovered are subject to limits based on earnings thresholds set out in legislation. The changes in the regulations I have laid today would enable council tax payers in arrears who are on low incomes to retain more of their weekly or monthly earnings and spread the cost of their debt, and I was pleased to see strong support for the proposal in the responses to the consultation we have received.
