question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the powers devolved to the Welsh Government on income tax.
tabling member constituency	Carmarthen East and Dinefwr
tabling member printed	Jonathan Edwards
uin	123689
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2018 answer text <p>The UK government is devolving powers over Welsh rates of income tax to the Welsh Assembly. From April 2019, the Welsh Government will be able to set the basic, higher, and additional rates of income tax in Wales. These new tax powers, combined with the new funding settlement agreed in the Welsh Government’s fiscal framework, will mean the Welsh Government is responsible for raising more of what it spends. This paves the way to making the Welsh Assembly a more powerful, accountable and mature institution, with greater powers and responsibilities to grow and support the Welsh economy.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 23/01/2018 15:29:32 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
