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