The reality is that the really rich will side step being targeted as that tends to be a predominant objective of their investing. Leaving it for the rest to fill the shortfall hole that they leave/avoided.


I doubt HMRC is concerned with such lowly thresholds!

And of course as an employer I can hardly give investment advice, but most people who just have AE schemes are seriously deluded so anything that encourages pension saving is imho a good thing.


Absolutely true. Most people are hopelessly naive about how much the should be putting aside to fund their retirement - and there is always something "here and now" to spend cash on.
