Reducing payments on account.

in Cutting tax
I'd be grateful for advice on this.
I've made personal pension contributions in this tax year that should reduce my overall tax bill by about £2000, and I'd like to reduce my payments on account.
However, the options available on the SA website don't seem to fit this particular purpose ( as below, taken from the website)
Step 2 - Please state reason
Reason for reduce payment: *
Can anyone advise me on the correct option, or do I have to ring HMRC? Thanks

Step 2 - Please state reason

Reason for reduce payment: *
- Please select an option below
- My business profits are down/my business has ceased.
- Other income has gone down.
- Tax allowances and reliefs have gone up.
- Tax deducted at source is more than previous year.
Can anyone advise me on the correct option, or do I have to ring HMRC? Thanks

I would assume 'Tax allowances and reliefs have gone up', but I'm not totally sure.
Does the '?' help icon give any more information.0 -
