Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
Sheffield does not create a special IR35 code for Automation Engineer work. The client SDS should name the Sheffield workplace and delivery model. An inside finding on a Sheffield Automation Engineer brief typically deducts tax at source, while outside IR35 Automation Engineer work in Sheffield is billed by a PSC. Local pay sits on a regional rate discount versus London, so a higher Sheffield headline rate can still be inside. Commuting into Sheffield does not, by itself, prove substitution or lack of control. Read the Automation Engineer Sheffield contract for workplace, hours, and equipment clauses.
