Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
So, ahead of the publication of the draft budget, one of the pieces of work that we did was to reprioritise funding from some parts of Government towards public services, specifically local government and health and, obviously, we had some interventions that…

So, I might, again, ask Emma or Andrew to come in on this point, but, at the moment, we're still working through those issues relating to the reclassification of the Development Bank of Wales and trying to understand what exactly that means for the FT…

Yes. I would be very happy to do that. I can see Peter sitting next to you, so perhaps some kind of less formal political discussions to tee up that debate would be useful.

I couldn't agree more, and I know that the Institute for Fiscal Studies has agreed with the points that you're making there, in terms of highlighting the case for having those enhanced powers, just to use the money that we are already have in the reserve, let…

I think that we wouldn't want to consider the future of taxes on that kind of piecemeal basis; we'd have to consider it in the round in terms of our overall approach to tax, through our tax policy framework and our overall strategy for devolved taxes. And…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Definitely. The first thing to say, really, is that council tax collection rates are very high, which is a good thing. And also to say that, as part of our work, we're undertaking a review of our council tax premiums, exemptions and discounts. And that will…

Income tax is a more progressive tax than council tax, and we are concerned that council tax is a regressive tax, and that's why we've got the piece of work that we're undertaking at the moment looking at reforming council tax for the future, to make it…

There is a danger. If tax rates are higher for people who are on that additional rate who do have another property in England, then they could make changes whereby they make their home in England their permanent home, and then we would lose out, obviously, on…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Absolutely, so that the public could understand the potential benefits and risks. I might as well ask Andrew to come in on this point around the potential risks because of the nature of the tax base.
19 Ionawr 2023 , Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
It would certainly give us more options, and there could be benefits to that. But we also have to look at that alongside the potential risks that there might be as well. Given the nature of our tax base here in Wales, and the fact that we do have more earners…

This is something that we thought about long and hard in terms of how we would use Welsh rates of income tax for the draft budget. I know the First Minister was taking some questions on this in First Minister's questions just this week. If you do raise the…
