Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions

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