Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
London does not create a special IR35 code for Lawyer work. The client SDS should name the London workplace and delivery model. An inside finding on a London Lawyer brief typically deducts tax at source, while outside IR35 Lawyer 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 Lawyer London contract for workplace, hours, and equipment clauses.
