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