| Leading sector | Design & UX (90%) | Largest hiring cluster in the sample |

| Regional rate band | a regional rate discount versus London | Location pricing context, not an SDS |
Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
Cardiff does not create a special IR35 code for Service Designer work. The client SDS should name the Cardiff workplace and delivery model. An inside finding on a Cardiff Service Designer brief typically deducts tax at source, while outside IR35 Service Designer 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 Service Designer Cardiff contract for workplace, hours, and equipment clauses.
