Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Introducing the first Welsh taxes in nearly 800 years has been an important milestone in our devolution story. During the past five years, the successful implementation of three Welsh taxes—the land transaction tax and the landfill disposals tax in 2018, and Welsh rates of income tax in 2019—has widened the responsibilities of the Welsh Government and the Senedd, strengthening our accountability for the money raised and spent delivering vital public services for the people of Wales.
