(Nid yw’r nodyn hwn yn rhan o’r Rheoliadau)
Mae’r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio Rheoliadau Awdurdodau Lleol (Cyllid Cyfalaf a Chyfrifyddu) (Cymru) 2003 (O.S. 2003/3239 (Cy. 319)) (“Rheoliadau 2003”).
Mae rheoliad 3 yn diwygio rheoliad 1 o Reoliadau 2003 ac yn cyflwyno diffiniadau newydd ar gyfer “securitisation transaction” a “money market fund”.
Mae rheoliad 4(1) yn darparu bod rhaid i drafodiad gwarannu gael ei drin fel trefniant credyd at ddibenion adran 7 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol 2003 (p. 26).
Mae rheoliad 4(2) yn amnewid rheoliad 5 o Reoliadau 2003 er mwyn darparu ar gyfer cyfrifo cost trafodiad gwarannu.
Mae rheoliad 5 yn disodli’r term “fixed asset” gyda’r derminoleg bresennol a ddefnyddir mewn arferion cyfrifyddu llywodraeth leol.
Mae rheoliad 6 yn diwygio Rheoliadau 2003 er mwyn ei gwneud yn glir na chaniateir trin symiau y mae’r awdurdod lleol yn eu cael o ran adbrynu bond pan fo’n aeddfedu, neu wrth waredu bond, fel derbyniadau cyfalaf, oni bai bod y bond wedi ei gaffael cyn 1 Ebrill 2018 a bod y gwariant ar gaffael wedi ei drin fel gwariant cyfalaf.
Mae rheoliad 7 yn mewnosod rheoliad 8A newydd sy’n darparu bod rhaid i werth unrhyw gydnabyddiaeth a geir o ganlyniad i drafodiad gwarannu gan awdurdod lleol gael ei drin fel derbyniad cyfalaf.
Mae rheoliad 8 yn dileu’r gofyniad mai dim ond derbyniadau cyfalaf a geir mewn cysylltiad â gwaredu buddiant mewn tir ac eithrio tir ar gyfer tai y caniateir eu defnyddio i dalu costau’r gwaredu, neu gostau sy’n gysylltiedig â’r gwaredu, ar yr amod nad yw costau o’r fath yn fwy na 4% o’r derbyniad cyfalaf sy’n deillio o’r gwaredu.
Mae rheoliad 9 yn dileu’r gofyniad i wariant gan awdurdodau lleol ar gaffael cyfalaf benthyg gael ei drin fel gwariant cyfalaf. Mae hefyd yn darparu bod rhaid i wariant yr eir iddo wrth gaffael, wrth gynhyrchu neu wrth adeiladu asedau i’w defnyddio gan berson heblaw’r awdurdod lleol, neu i’w gwaredu iddo, gael ei drin fel gwariant cyfalaf, pe byddai wedi bod yn wariant cyfalaf pe bai’r asedau wedi eu caffael, eu cynhyrchu neu eu hadeiladu i’w defnyddio gan yr awdurdod lleol. Mae rheoliad 20 o Reoliadau 2003 hefyd wedi ei ddiwygio i eithrio gwariant ar gaffael mathau penodol o gyfalaf cyfranddaliadau rhag cael ei drin fel gwariant cyfalaf.
Mae rheoliad 10 yn ymestyn tan 1 Ebrill 2020 y gallu sydd gan awdurdodau lleol i ohirio codi, ar gyfrif refeniw, rwymedigaethau i ôl-dâl oherwydd ceisiadau am gyflog cyfartal, tan y dyddiad y mae rhaid i’r awdurdod lleol dalu’r ôl-dâl hwnnw. Mae hwn ar yr amod bod yr ôl-dâl hwnnw wedi ei wneud cyn 1 Ebrill 2020.
Mae rheoliad 11 yn dileu’r cyfeiriad at un o’r dogfennau y nodir eu bod yn ffurfio arferion priodol at ddibenion adran 21 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol 2003.
Ystyriwyd Cod Ymarfer Gweinidogion Cymru ar gynnal Asesiadau Effaith Rheoleiddiol mewn perthynas â’r Rheoliadau hyn. O ganlyniad, ystyriwyd nad oedd yn angenrheidiol cynnal asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol o’r costau a’r manteision sy’n debygol o ddeillio o gydymffurfio â’r Rheoliadau hyn.
2003 p. 26. Diwygiwyd adran 24 gan adran 238(3) o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol a Chynnwys y Cyhoedd mewn Iechyd 2007 (p. 28).
