Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
Bristol does not create a special IR35 code for Software Engineer work. The client SDS should name the Bristol workplace and delivery model. An inside finding on a Bristol Software Engineer brief typically deducts tax at source, while outside IR35 Software Engineer work in Bristol is billed by a PSC. Local pay sits on major-city rate parity, so a higher Bristol headline rate can still be inside. Commuting into Bristol does not, by itself, prove substitution or lack of control. Read the Software Engineer Bristol contract for workplace, hours, and equipment clauses.
