Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on discussions with the UK Government on devolving relevant powers to enable the introduction of a vacant land tax in Wales?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language | Answered on 27/02/2025

I am having ongoing discussions with the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury in relation to our request for the devolution of relevant powers to introduce a Vacant Land Tax in Wales. I anticipate these discussions will allow us to move forward with the devolution of the relevant powers following the stalled discussions with the previous UK Government.
