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