I am a 100% paye employee but work on an interim bases so for example I can live with the 2021/2022 tax payment due as it’s something I have to pay but my new assignment ends Dec 2022 and starts June 13. All earnings are at source and then I’m unemployed after Dec. I will be looking to find new employment but again this will not be a contractor role but an interim position - fixed term.  So being asked to pay on account when I’m 100% paye seems wrong as I don’t know what I’ll earn and when I’ll be in employment and when I am working I’m taxed at source so I pay my tax. 

Fortunately POA are paid in arrears, the first one due for 2022:23 will be payable on 31 January 2023, nearly ten months into the tax year.

So you have plenty of time to make an informed decision about whether to reduce them or not.
