“Rydyn ni wedi comisiynu arbenigwyr allanol i ymchwilio i effaith y Credyd Cynhwysol ar Gynllun Gostyngiadau’r Dreth Gyngor ac ôl-ddyledion rhenti yng Nghymru. Dyw hi ddim yn iawn bod penderfyniadau sy’n cael eu gwneud gan Lywodraeth y DU am fudd-daliadau lles yn gallu effeithio ar drethi lleol yng Nghymru – maes cyfrifoldeb sydd wedi’i ddatganoli ers 1999. Bydd y canfyddiadau hyn yn cael eu defnyddio i’n helpu i ddatblygu’r cynllun.
“We have commissioned external experts to undertake research into the impact of Universal Credit on the Council Tax Reduction Scheme and rent arrears in Wales. It is not right that decisions taken by the UK government about welfare benefits can have an impact on local taxation in Wales, an area of responsibility which has been devolved since 1999. These findings will be used to inform our development of the scheme.
