D. Elis-Thomas
Llywydd y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol

16 Mawrth 2004

Mae Atodlenni 2 a 4 i Ddeddf Cyllid Llywodraeth Leol 1992 ("Deddf 1992") yn rhoi pwerau amrywiol i'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol wneud rheoliadau mewn perthynas â gweinyddu a gorfodi'r dreth gyngor. Y prif reoliadau a wnaed o dan y pwerau hyn yw Rheoliadau'r Dreth Gyngor (Gweinyddu a Gorfodi) 1992 (fel y'u diwygiwyd) ("y prif reoliadau").

I'r graddau y maent yn ymwneud â Chymru, trosglwyddwyd y pwerau hyn i Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru gan Orchymyn Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru (Trosglwyddo Swyddogaethau) 1999.

Diwygiodd Rhan 6 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol 2003 ("Deddf 2003") y pwerau hyn, ynghyd â darpariaethau eraill Deddf 1992 sy'n ymwneud â gweinyddu a gorfodi'r dreth gyngor.

O ganlyniad i'r newidiadau a wnaed gan Ddeddf 2003, a chan ddibynnu ar y pwerau yn Atodlen 2 a 4 i Ddeddf 1992, mae Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru yn gwneud y Rheoliadau hyn i ddiwygio ymhellach y prif reoliadau.

Mae Rheoliad 3 o'r rheoliadau hyn yn mewnosod diffiniadau newydd o "discount" ac "exempt dwelling" yn rheoliad 1(2) o'r prif reoliadau. Bydd y newid hwn, ynghyd â'r newid a wneir gan reoliad 4, yn gwireddu'r bwriad y tu cefn i baragraff 21 o Atodlen 2 i Ddeddf 1992 er mwyn sicrhau bod anheddau sy'n perthyn i ddosbarth y mae awdurdod yng Nghymru wedi penderfynu ar ei gyfer o dan adran 13A o Ddeddf 1992 y caiff swm y dreth gyngor sy'n daladwy ei leihau i ddim neu i rywbeth heblaw dim (yn ôl y digwydd) yn cael eu trin, yn y drefn honno, fel anheddau esempt neu rai sy'n destun disgownt at ddibenion gweinyddu'r dreth gyngor. Mewnosodwyd adran 13A o Ddeddf 1992 a pharagraff 21 o Atodlen 2 iddi yn y Ddeddf gan adran 76 o Ddeddf 2003 a pharagraff 53(3) o Atodlen 7 iddi yn y drefn honno.

Mae Rheoliad 5(2) yn mewnosod rheoliad 36A newydd yn y prif reoliadau er mwyn caniatáu i lys ynadon, ar gais awdurdod bilio, ddileu gorchymyn dyled y dreth gyngor, lle mae'r llys wedi'i fodloni na ddylai'r gorchymyn fod wedi'i wneud. Mae Rheoliad 36A(3) yn caniatáu i awdurdod sy'n gwneud cais i ddileu gorchymyn dyled wneud cais hefyd i'r llys am orchymyn pellach yn erbyn yr un person lle mae swm llai na'r swm y gwnaed y gorchymyn gwreiddiol ar ei gyfer wedi dod yn ddyledus yn y cyfamser. Bydd Rheoliad 36A(5) yn caniatáu i'r llys ynadon roi swm llai yn lle'r swm yn y gorchymyn dyled gwreiddiol lle mae o'r farn y gallai gorchymyn dyled am swm llai o'r fath fod wedi'i wneud yn briodol. Mae Rheoliad 36A(4) yn golygu y bydd gofynion paragraffau (2) i (5) o reoliad 34 hefyd yn gymwys i gais am orchymyn dyled sydd wedi'i amnewid. Mae'r darpariaethau hyn yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol cyflwyno gws i'r dyledwr cyn y gellir gwneud gorchymyn o'r fath. Os bydd y swm sydd heb ei dalu a chostau rhesymol yr awdurdod o'r cais yn cael eu cyflwyno cyn i'r cais gael ei wrando, maent hefyd yn darparu na fydd y cais yn mynd yn ei flaen.

Mae Rheoliad 6 yn diwygio rheoliad 37 o'r prif Reoliadau er mwyn caniatáu i'r swm y gwneir gorchymyn atafaelu enillion mewn perhynas ag ef gynnwys, yn ddarostyngedig i rai terfynau, unrhyw gostau a dynnir gan yr awdurdod mewn ymgais aflwyddiannus i atafaelu nwyddau er mwyn sicrhau bod swm heb ei dalu y gwnaed gorchymyn dyled mewn perthynas ag ef yn cael ei dalu. Diwygir Rheoliad 37 ymhellach er mwyn caniatáu i'r swm hwnnw gynnwys hefyd, yn ddarostyngedig i rai terfynau, unrhyw gostau a dynnir gan awdurdod mewn cais ofer am warant i draddodi'r dyledwr i garchar. Ni chaiff awdurdod wneud cais i'r llys ynadon am warant i draddodi'r dyledwr i garchar o dan reoliad 47 ond ar ôl cais aflwyddiannus i atafaelu nwyddau (lle nad oedd y person a oedd yn gwneud yr atafaelu yn gallu dod o hyd i unrhyw rai o nwyddau'r dyledwr neu nwyddau digonol i godi'r swm arnynt). Gan fod rhaid i'r llys ynadon ofyn beth yw moddion y dyledwr wrth ystyried a yw am roi traddodeb, efallai na ddaw moddion y dyledwr yn hysbys i'r awdurdod mor hwyr a hyn, ac yn lle mynd ar drywydd y cais am draddodeb ymhellach gallai'r awdurdod benderfynu gwneud gorchymyn atafaelu enillion yn lle hynny.

Mae Rheoliad 7 yn diwygio rheoliad 50 o'r prif reoliadau. Mae Rheoliad 50 yn caniatáu i orchymyn codi tâl gael ei wneud ynghylch y fangre y mae'r dreth gyngor yn dal heb ei thalu mewn perthynas â hi. Dim ond lle mae mwy na £1000 yn dal heb ei dalu y gellir gwneud gorchymyn codi tâl. Gynt roedd angen dangos bod mwy na £1000 heb ei dalu o dan un gorchymyn dyled. Mae Rheoliad 7 yn diwygio rheoliad 50 er mwyn i awdurdodau gyfuno symiau sydd heb eu talu o dan orchmynion dyled ar wahân (pob un ohonynt yn llai na £1000) er mwyn eu galluogi i wneud cais am orchymyn codi tâl, ar yr amod bod y cyfanswm agregedig sydd heb ei dalu yn uwch na £1000.
