    definatley not, why?

    If they were then it would be worth taking the pension because you will be getting money from your employer that you wouldn't get otherwise.


    JamesD - i didn't follow that tax bit. So if i was earning £32K (i think thats the cut off for 40% tax) i'd have to claim something back? I will prob go over that threshold next March.

    You need to be earning about £40,500* to be a higher rate tax payer. Remember you have a tax allowance of approx £5,225 before you pay any income tax on your money.

    *Estimate as I can't be bothered to look for the exact figure.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p
