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