S6W-38982
Asked by: Villalba, Mercedes (Scottish Labour - North East Scotland) Wednesday 23rd July 2025 Question To ask the Scottish Government, in light of its announcement in February 2025 on building consensus on council tax reform, what powers it has to conduct a nationwide revaluation of all homes. Answered by Robison, Shona - Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government The Scottish Government is not planning to undertake a Council Tax revaluation. Any suggestion of a revaluation could only proceed if a broad political consensus in favour existed – no such consensus currently exists. Any changes to Council Tax must also be informed by robust evidence and wide public consultation. Our joint programme of engagement with COSLA on options for reform is intended to inform that public debate. This process will run for a number of years. Consequently, any substantial reform thereafter, including any suggestion of revaluation, would require a mandate from a Scottish Parliament Election and will not be possible this decade. The powers relevant are contained within the Local Government Finance Act 1992 and related regulations. |

WQ93507
Asked by: Andrew RT Davies (Welsh Conservative Party - South Wales Central) Monday 22nd July 2024 Question Will the First Minister confirm what discussions they are having with town, community and parish councils on how they are currently funded? Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning There have been no discussions with community and town councils or their sector representative body, One Voice Wales, regarding how they are funded. Their principal source of funding is through their ability to raise a precept (a charge) to council tax under section 41 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992. They may also raise funding through borrowing, grant funding, and charging for discretionary services and goods. |

WQ93148
Asked by: Andrew RT Davies (Welsh Conservative Party - South Wales Central) Thursday 13th June 2024 Question What payments has the Welsh Government made, and is due to make, to the Valuation Office Agency to finance its work on a council tax revaluation including the development of the automated valuation model in Wales? Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Constitution and Cabinet Office An annual Service Level Agreement between the Welsh Government and the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) is in place for the provision of council tax valuation services in Wales. The VOA has sole statutory responsibility for assessing the values of domestic properties in Wales for council tax purposes. As the VOA is an executive agency of HMRC, it is independent of the Welsh Government. In relation to its work on council tax reform, the VOA is accountable to the Welsh Ministers as a result of s21(2) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, which allows the Welsh Ministers to set assumptions and principles. Currently, section 22B of the Act also allows for the date for a revaluation in Wales to be set by Welsh Ministers. However, the detailed methods of valuation are a matter for the VOA, and it is important that valuations are carried out independently. The Chief Executive of the VOA is a HM Treasury appointed Accounting Officer, who is accountable for safeguarding the public funds for which the VOA is responsible for; and for the conduct of the agency’s day-to-day operations and management. |

WQ90098
Asked by: Andrew RT Davies (Welsh Conservative Party - South Wales Central) Monday 18th December 2023 Question Further to WQ89729, will the Minister clarify whether the provisions of the Local Government Finance (Wales) Bill as described in paragraph 8.192 of the Explanatory Memorandum will enable Welsh Ministers to allow councils to disapply or reduce the single person discount? Answered by Minister for Finance and Local Government We have been absolutely clear there will be no changes to the existing council tax discount for households where there is only one liable adult. The Bill includes a range of provisions which will give the Welsh Ministers greater flexibility to make changes to council tax discounts and disregards which better reflect the needs of Wales and to respond to changes in society and the economy in a timely way. This includes flexibility to introduce new discounts, for discounts to be set at levels other than 25% or 50% and for discounts to be better tailored to particular circumstances. It also includes powers for the Welsh Ministers to allow local authorities to disapply or reduce discounts in certain circumstances. This preserves the effect of Section 12 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992. The power will allow Welsh Ministers to prescribe by regulations classes of dwellings which a local authority may either disapply or reduce a discount. Any proposals to make changes to council tax discounts in the future using the powers in the Bill would need to be consulted upon and any resulting regulations would be subject to scrutiny in the Senedd. |

Notes the Labour Market Overview published by the Office for National Statistics on 16 September 2025. 2. Regrets that under the Welsh Government: a) Wales’s unemployment rate has increased; b) Wales’s employment rate has decreased and is the lowest in the United Kingdom; c) Wales’s economic inactivity rate has increased and is the highest in Great Britain; and d) Welsh wage packets are the lowest in the United Kingdom. 3. Calls on the Welsh Government to create more jobs in Wales and boost growth by: a) cutting the basic rate of income tax by 1 pence; b) scrapping business rates for small businesses; c) axing the tourism tax before it comes into force; d) levelling-up the whole of Wales with adequate levels of investment for all parts of the country; e) calling on the UK Government to drop the increase in Employer's National Insurance Contributions and to reverse inheritance tax changes which are adversely impacting Welsh family firms and family farms; and f) scrapping the default 20mph speed limit to get Wales moving. Labour Market Overview The following amendments were tabled: Amendment 1 Jane Hutt (Vale of Glamorgan) Delete all after point 1 and replace with: Notes the Welsh Government publication Labour market overview: September 2025. Welcomes that under the Welsh Government: a) Wales’s unemployment rate is lower than the UK rate; b) the employment rate gap between Wales and the UK has narrowed over the period since devolution; c) a range of support is in place to help economically inactive people return to work—particularly those facing complex barriers such as disability, long-term health conditions, or caring responsibilities; and d) in 2024, median gross weekly earnings for full-time adults working in Wales were higher than the North East of England, East Midlands, Northern Ireland and Yorkshire and the Humber. Labour market overview: September 2025 If amendment 1 is agreed, amendment 2 will be de-selected. Amendment 2 Heledd Fychan (South Wales Central) Delete all after point 2(d) and replace with: Regrets the detrimental impact of decisions made by successive Westminster Governments on the Welsh economy, including: a) the ongoing impact of Brexit, which has inflicted a £4 billion hit on the Welsh economy and is a major barrier to business growth; b) the ongoing impact of austerity measures on public finances; c) the failure to deliver a fair funding formula for Wales, despite cross-party support for this in the Senedd; d) the failure to deliver promises to provide the Senedd with greater flexibilities to manage its budget; e) the failure to devolve the Crown Estate to enable Wales to profit from its own natural resources; f) the failure to provide Wales with its fair share of HS2 consequentials; g) the failure to redistribute wealth evenly across the UK; and h) overseeing reckless fiscal policies, such as the Liz Truss mini budget, that have caused significant hardship for Welsh households. Believes that both the previous Conservative UK Government and the current Labour UK Government have repeatedly and emphatically demonstrated their lack of commitment to advancing Wales's financial and economic interests. Calls on the Welsh Government to boost jobs and growth by: a) showing it has influence within the ‘partnership of power’ by forcing the UK Labour Government to engage seriously with reforming Wales’s funding arrangements; b) make representations to the UK Labour Government to reverse the increase to employer National Insurance contributions; c) make representations to the UK Labour Government to rejoin the EU single market and customs union to promote economic growth; d) make representations to the UK Labour Government to reverse inheritance tax changes affecting Welsh family farms; e) demand full compensation from the UK Labour Government for costs incurred from designing and constructing redundant border infrastructure at Welsh ports, and invest the proceeds to support Welsh trade; and f) utilise new powers provided through the Local Government Finance Act to create preferential business rate multipliers for SMEs.
