Who pays the Welsh rates
You바카라 사이트檒l pay the Welsh rates if you live in Wales.
You must update your address with HMRC if your main home is in Wales but you do not think they have your correct address.
If you move to or from Wales
You바카라 사이트檒l only pay the Welsh rates if you live in Wales for longer than anywhere else in the UK during a tax year (6 April to 5 April the following year).
The new rates you pay will be backdated to the start of the tax year in which you moved. The tax taken from your wages or pension will be adjusted automatically so you pay the right amount across the whole tax year.

If you live in more than one home
If you have a home in Wales and one elsewhere in the UK, update your address to let HMRC know which is your main home.
Your main home is usually where you live and spend most of your time. It does not matter whether you own it, rent it or live in it for free.
Your main home may be where you spend less time, if that바카라 사이트檚 where:
- most of your possessions are
- your family lives, if you바카라 사이트檙e married or in a civil partnership
- you바카라 사이트檙e registered for things like your bank account, GP or car insurance

How you pay
