Comisiynu Cartrefi Gofal i Bobl Hŷn: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
I would totally agree with that. I think my point, really, is around how that balance is then reflected, because you know as well as I do, Mary, that you can pay the adequate amount of money, a good amount of money, but that doesn't necessarily get reflected…

Comisiynu Cartrefi Gofal i Bobl Hŷn: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Very briefly, Chair, if I may, on that particular point, because this is at the crux of a lot of the issue, although not the main issue by any means. In regard to this, though, being, in a sense, a buyers market, it could always go up, couldn't it? And I…

Thank you very much. Chair.

Comisiynu Cartrefi Gofal i Bobl Hŷn: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Okay. And finally, if I can just ask you this: how fit for purpose is our current system, if you were starting from scratch today?

Comisiynu Cartrefi Gofal i Bobl Hŷn: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Thank you. And my final question then, Chair, if I may: so, in regard to the pooled funding arrangements for care homes, do you feel pooled funding arrangements have been developed as expected? If not, why not? And do you feel, as you've inferred, a unified…

Comisiynu Cartrefi Gofal i Bobl Hŷn: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Thank you. Where there is disagreement around—. Where public sector partners do not agree on commissioning placements, what's the impact on service users, families and providers?

Comisiynu Cartrefi Gofal i Bobl Hŷn: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Thank you—multifaceted. In regard, then, to public sector funding arrangements and potential then for division amongst our public sector partners around payment, who pays, how can that potentially be simplified? You mentioned earlier on simplifying…

Comisiynu Cartrefi Gofal i Bobl Hŷn: Sesiwn Dystiolaeth 1
Thank you very much, Chair, and welcome to Mary. It's good to see you here. We've mentioned where you feel the overall priorities are within the sector, and I don't disagree with that, but would you also comment in terms of the broad provision of the variety…

Papurau i'w nodi
Thank you, Chair. Not much more to add to what to Mike has said. I think it does no harm to review where we're at with this. We all remember the bonfire of the quangos and the Great British potato, et cetera, et cetera. But I think this is something that…

Diolch, Weinidog. Mae pobl yn fy etholaeth i yn Islwyn a ledled Cymru yn wynebu argyfwng costau byw gwirioneddol ddigynsail. Mae’r Swyddfa Cyfrifoldeb Cyllidebol wedi dweud y byddwn yn gweld y gostyngiad mwyaf erioed mewn safonau byw yn 2022-23. Gwyddom mai’r…

4. Pa drafodaethau y mae'r Gweinidog wedi'u cael gyda Thrysorlys EM i sicrhau bod gan Lywodraeth Cymru y cyllid sydd ei angen arni i gefnogi pobl Islwyn drwy'r argyfwng costau byw? OQ57922

Fel aelod o Bwyllgor Cyllid y Senedd, hoffwn i ddiolch i Gadeirydd ein pwyllgor, Peredur Owen Griffiths, am ei stiwardiaeth, ac i fy nghyd-aelodau ar y pwyllgor, Mike Hedges a Peter Fox, am eu gwaith cadarn ar y pwyllgor. Hoffwn i fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Thank you, Minister. And finally, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales told us that its guiding principle is that penalties have a major impact on the taxpayer and are not something that should be imposed by way of regulatory powers…
16 Chwefror 2022 , Finance Committee
Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Thank you; you've been very clear on that. The Welsh Revenue Authority told us, though, that avoidance isn't a risk that it currently sees within these two devolved taxes and that the existing anti-avoidance provision in the Tax Collection and Management…
16 Chwefror 2022 , Finance Committee
Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Thank you. That's clear, in terms of your response to that question. It was suggested that the case to amend legislation to protect against tax avoidance and to respond to decisions of the court or tribunals has not been made, in a similar vein, so is there…
16 Chwefror 2022 , Finance Committee
Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
No, that's a really interesting conversation, actually. With regard to the evidence, which suggested that the purpose to respond to decisions of the courts or tribunal is too broad, given it would apply to any provision in the Welsh tax Acts, apart from those…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Thank you. You'll have to ignore my dogs. You've told the committee previously—and we've spoken to Professor Emyr Lewis recently, who provided an example on this—about how the powers would be used in theory. He also specified an individual example of where…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Thank you very much. So, to summarise, then, you're saying that this will give us a flexibility and an agility on a par with the UK Government, and that, in a sense, the GAAR acts in the same sort of way as an anti-social behaviour order—it's the end process…

Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
That's fine. I just wanted a general understanding.
16 Chwefror 2022 , Finance Committee
Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
So, I'll just be a bit more concise, then. Do you feel that the general anti-avoidance rule is working well at the moment?
16 Chwefror 2022 , Finance Committee
Bil Deddfau Trethi Cymru etc. (Pŵer i Addasu): Sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Okay. We did go into this in some length in terms of the terminology. I think in terms of the general anti-avoidance rule, I'm not quite clear whether you say that's working well at the moment. But in regard to that and the fact that the term 'tax avoidance'…
