Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
A Legal Counsel contract based in Glasgow is still assessed on facts, not postcode. Status paperwork should reflect Glasgow attendance, hybrid days, and substitution. Inside IR35 Legal Counsel pay in Glasgow is usually umbrella or PAYE, while an outside SDS lets the Glasgow contractor invoice through a limited company. Advertised Glasgow rates follow a regional rate discount versus London, so city uplifts do not imply an outside finding. Travel between home and a Glasgow office is rarely a substitute right. Check Glasgow on-site expectations for this Legal Counsel before you treat the SDS as settled.
