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