Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions

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