Of course the company knows.
Anyway, sod it, I’ll just use the ltd address.

Take your point about burner addresses though. Hence the question -- no perfect solution here it seems to me.

Use HipChat or slack for general comms with team members - keeps a history and faster

Using a burner address smacks of someone not wanting to be traceable.

Originally posted by WTFH View PostI’d not be worried about IR35, but I would be worried about your contract and the end client’s policy on the use of external mails.
If you are doing a contract for a client, your communications with other members of the team should be done using the internal mail system of the client, if they have provided you with one - that will most likely be part of their corporate policy.
If you’re wanting to share videos of cats, then use personal emails.
Why are you wanting to use a private email for the comms?
The work being done is one highly specific task, it's not coding or maintenance of a system. So all communication will be limited to discussion of that task or the sharing of best practises.
And to be clear, it's less a private email than an isolated email, created specifically for the purpose -- it just happens that's easier via gmail/hotmail etc.

Use company or personal email for inter-team communication
Starting a gig with a few other collaborators, most (perhaps all?) of whom have their own limiteds.
For inter-team communication, notices, documentation, email, etc, I could use an ad hoc email address, or my own ltd company email address. I suppose the ad hoc email is a bit more private/isolated, the ltd company not so much.
Any IR35 concerns if I supply an ad hoc (hotmail/gmail) created for the purpose?Tags: None
