Volunteer Allowance - Invest in Pension?

As with many working full time and volunteering the income tax on VA results in a small daily rate. Does anyone know, or has anyone asked HQAC if VA can be placed in to a private pension scheme and therefore not being subject to income tax at the point of payment?

This would not result in a favourable response.

So I guess, if you can afford to, the easier way is to increase your voluntary payments through your employer by the equivalent to the 28 days VA or make a one off payment at the end of the year and then contact HMRC to inform them of the value of the additional contribution and they should issue a refund/adjust your tax code to account for it. Then you will only lose the NI contribution?
