    so I lose the NI benefit I guess as not being done via SS but seemingly my employer is being impossible so easier just to maybe payments direct I think 
    Look on the bright side, lots of people aren't able to use Salary Sacrifice at all, since their employer doesn't offer it.

    I used to pay into my Aviva workplace pension every March, they would add on 20% basic rate tax and then I will claim the rest back in April on a tax return, never had any issues.

    the only downside is you do not get the national insurance savings
    The greatest prediction of your future is your daily actions.
