Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pwer i Addasu)—sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol
I think this sets out really why the statement will be important, in terms of setting out how Welsh Ministers would use the power to make retrospective legislation as is proposed in the Bill. The statement is intended to provide that security to the public…

As things stand at the moment, yes. I'm keen, though, to perhaps do some more work on the statement based on the comments of this committee and others, and listening to the expert advice that we've been receiving as well.

So, I think this might be an area where we could look to the wording in the draft policy statement, to potentially review and clarify. The intention of the statement wasn't to substitute the Government's view of what the law was intended to be with that of…

Is it worth as well, Andrew, saying something about the ECHR and how it recognises that tax is special? Your favourite topic, I know.

I'll ask Andrew, perhaps, to come in on this, or Anna, in the first instance, and then I will augment, if there is anything to augment after they have responded.

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pwer i Addasu)—sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol
Yes, thank you, and I think that the fact that it is the Senedd that will have the ultimate say on whether or not regulations that are passed protect that principle, as does section 5 of the Bill that seeks, then, to protect taxpayers should the Senedd not…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pwer i Addasu)—sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol
I think the main role for the Senedd in terms of when the Senedd will have its ultimate say will be on the approval or otherwise of the decisions made in respect of the regulations. I'm open to making changes to the statement because, again, this is something…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pwer i Addasu)—sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol
Yes, this is something that I am interested in exploring with committee as to whether or not we should be making changes to our proposals to do as you suggest, in terms of only bringing these matters into play, if you like, from the point at which there's a…

So, we would obviously want to be able to have the same powers, actually, as UK Ministers have to close loopholes in the law where people are using avoidance techniques. Obviously, we would need and want to do that as quickly as possible to protect Welsh…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pwer i Addasu)—sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol
I would disagree with that in the sense that we have, really, changed our proposal significantly in response to concerns such as those that you've described, which were raised during the consultation process. So, what was originally being proposed was quite…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pwer i Addasu)—sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol
I think that there are really robust checks and balances in place for this legislation, and the scope of the power within the legislation has been really deliberately constrained by the inclusion of the four purpose tests. This is quite a departure from our…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pwer i Addasu)—sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol
There's certainly more time for scrutiny, so that Welsh Government can be made aware of the views of the Senedd. But I think that an important point here is that we've got section 5 of the Bill, which has probably received less attention than most sections of…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pwer i Addasu)—sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol
Thank you. So, we have given really careful consideration to the most appropriate vehicle for achieving the policy objectives underpinning the Bill, and the powers afforded by the Bill arguably provide equal or greater opportunities for scrutiny. So, for…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pwer i Addasu)—sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol
It's clear that seeking new regulation powers should be given really robust and thorough consideration and scrutiny, both in the formulation and the drafting stages and, of course, during Senedd scrutiny. And although I've sought to limit the scope of the…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pwer i Addasu)—sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol
Thank you. So, the Bill will not in itself engage convention rights. However, it is correct that the future exercise of the power conferred in the Bill, particularly in relation to making legislation with retrospective effect, may give rise to convention…

Yes, Chair, we are. There's no requirement for Secretary of State or Crown consents, and the legislation doesn't relate to a reserved matter; it relates to devolved taxes, which are within competence, and any amendments of legislation within the power of the…
