Money Box Live: Working into Later Life

Want to change the way you work or set up a business in later life? Call 03700 100 444 from 1pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday with your questions or e-mail [email protected] now. Choosing to work longer can make great financial sense but you might want to work fewer hours or in a different way. Sarah Veale, Head of Equality and Employment Rights at the TUC will be here to explain your rights to working past retirement age. Perhaps you'd prefer to be your own boss and use your skills to start a small business? Paula Tallon, Managing Partner at Gabelle Tax can talk you through the tax rules and self-assessment process. What happens if you need to buy equipment or rent premises, what are the allowable running costs and expenses? And don't miss the important tax deadlines! Plus you may want to think about when to take an occupational or state pension. What happens if you want to work and receive your pension? Is it sensible to defer? Put your questions to Michelle Cracknell, Chief Executive, The Pensions Advisory Service. Whatever your need to know, Paul Lewis and guests will be waiting to help on Wednesday. Call 03700 100 444 from 1pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday or e-mail questions to [email protected] now. Standard geographic charges from landlines and mobiles will apply.
