UK private pensions are similar but much more generous in tax relief (for now) and in the amount you can put into them -even more so if you do salary sacrifice.

There is also a lot more tax advantaged savings for the better off i.e. 20k pa ISA basically put 20k a year beyond the reach of income and CGT is just the start. VCT's EIS and SIS for some one on a SV engineers wage for example. Tax on share options is far more sane as well.
