Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
Milton Keynes does not create a special IR35 code for Test Manager work. The client SDS should name the Milton Keynes workplace and delivery model. An inside finding on a Milton Keynes Test Manager brief typically deducts tax at source, while outside IR35 Test Manager 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 Test Manager Milton Keynes contract for workplace, hours, and equipment clauses.
