Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions

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