Pension Contribution/Salary Sacrifice Limits

Options
My understanding is that I can contribute upto £40k into a pension per annum, and unused allowance from previous two years can be added to that. I am nowhere near the lifetime limit.

Do employer contributions count towards that total, eg through salary sacrifice and/or pension matching say a 5% employee contribution?

Did those rumblings about salary sacrifice schemes becoming subject to BIK ever materialise?

Can I contribute to an employer pension scheme and a personal pension in the same tax year?

    - Employer contributions including salary sacrifice count towards the £40K limit.
    - Nothing hs been done to change the tax position regarding salary sacrifice
    - You can contribute to multiple pension schemes in the same year as long as the total doesn't exceed the limits.
