Heddiw, rwy’n cyhoeddi ymgynghoriad technegol i wahodd safbwyntiau ar Reoliadau’r Dreth Gyngor (Eithriadau rhag Symiau Uwch) (Cymru) 2023 drafft. Mae’r Rheoliadau drafft yn estyn yr eithriad presennol fel y bydd yn gymwys i eiddo ag amod cynllunio sy’n nodi na chaniateir defnyddio eiddo ond ar gyfer llety gwyliau tymor byr neu sy’n atal meddiannaeth barhaol fel unig neu brif breswylfa person. Byddai eiddo o’r fath yn agored i dalu’r dreth gyngor ar y gyfradd safonol os nad yw’n bodloni’r meini prawf gosod ar gyfer cael ei gyfrif fel eiddo annomestig ond ni ellid codi premiwm arno. Mae hyn yn gyson â’n safbwynt polisi y dylai perchnogion eiddo wneud cyfraniad teg i gymunedau lleol naill ai drwy dalu trethi lleol neu drwy’r budd economaidd y maent yn ei roi i’r ardal.
I am publishing today a technical consultation to invite views on the draft Council Tax (Exceptions to Higher Amounts) (Wales) Regulations 2023.  The draft Regulations extend the existing exception to apply to properties with a planning condition which specifies that the property may only be used for short term holiday lets or which prevents their permanent occupation as a person’s sole or main residence. Such properties would become liable for council tax at the standard rate if they do not meet the letting criteria for classification as non-domestic property but they could not be charged a premium. This is consistent with our policy view that property owners should make a fair contribution to local communities either through local taxation or through the economic benefit they bring to an area.
