Hi,
As the Welsh government and .gov sites don't seem to say much, I wondered if anyone knows when and how these new rates will be published, and when the formal budget statement is due?
Many thanks.

The man in charge of the Welsh Government's purse strings has left the door open to raising income tax before the next assembly election in 2021.
Mark Drakeford, frontrunner to be next first minister, said he will stick to Labour's commitment not to change tax rates "unless I'm compelled to do so".
No changes to income tax were presented in Mr Drakeford's £18bn draft budget for next year, announced on Tuesday.
Welsh ministers gain powers to vary income tax rates from April.
But Labour pledged in 2016 not to change things before the next assembly election.0 -
Thank you. We received a notice from HMRC today notifying us that our rates may change from April 19 which seemed to contradict this, but hopefully as your link describes, things should stay the same!Save 12 k in 2018 challenge member #79

No contradiction! HMRC sound like they are correct to say that the rates may change - that is probably the legal position. Whether they do change is political and up to the Welsh Assembly Government.0
