An inside finding on a Leeds Medical Writer brief typically deducts tax at source, while outside IR35 Medical Writer work in Leeds is billed by a PSC. Local pay sits on major-city rate parity, so a higher Leeds headline rate can still be inside. Commuting into Leeds does not, by itself, prove substitution or lack of control.
