Nodais fy mhenderfyniad ym mis Gorffennaf 2020 y byddai'r trothwy cychwynnol ar gyfer prif gyfraddau preswyl y dreth trafodiadau tir yn cael ei bennu yn £250,000 o 27 Gorffennaf ymlaen. Mae'r trothwy newydd £70,000 yn uwch na'r trothwy cychwynnol ar gyfer trafodiadau eiddo preswyl a fodolai cyn 27 Gorffennaf. O ganlyniad, dim ond tua 25% o'r rheini sy'n atebol ar gyfer prif gyfraddau’r dreth trafodiadau tir sy'n talu unrhyw dreth o gwbl. Mae pobl sy'n prynu cartref yng Nghymru sy'n costio mwy na £250,000 wedi arbed £2,450 yn fwy na’r hyn a fyddai wedi bod yn daladwy o'r blaen, ac nid yw pobl sy'n prynu cartref yng Nghymru sy'n costio llai na £250,000 wedi talu unrhyw dreth.
I set out my decision in July 2020 that the starting threshold for land transaction tax main residential rates would be set at £250,000 from 27 July.  The new threshold is £70,000 higher than the starting threshold for residential property transactions which existed prior to 27 July.  It has resulted in only around 25% of those liable to the main LTT rates paying any tax at all.  People buying their home in Wales costing more than £250,000 have made a saving of £2,450 over that which would previously have been payable, and people  buying their homes in Wales costing less than £250,000 have not paid anything.
