You can vary your PAYG but it only gets cancelled/stopped by the ATO dependent on your profits/earnings upon lodgement of your next tax return.

I've been running a variation for years.
I do a quarterly check on myself. If I've overquoted I contact the ATO and they give you Bpay account to 'top up' your tax; should you need to. I've only has this issue with extra large bonuses from work and some excellent wins on the ASX.
I've found the ATO to be genuinly helpful with variations, in fact I think they'd prefer it if we all did one.
Cheers
I should add that duckster is however correct – ANY misleading information provided to ATO, variation or not, leaves you open to prosecution; especially if you knowlingly do it.
variations are an excellent way to reduce you PAYG tax legit.
See an accountant on how to do it; I am not one
Cheers
Yes penalties may apply if your over 10% of the estimate you gave/varied, but you can top up as you go if you see a particularly sensational quarter/change in circumstances.
I would suggest to be conservative in your estimates and leave room for unexpected income and expenses within your variation.

http://www.fletchertaxaccountants.com.auAre we right to assume that you're not self employed? Fletcher Tax is right, you should be conservative and leave some room. If you do go hard and trying and get as much back, just be prepared if you get wrong, as you'll need to come up with more money. Don't hinge your future cash flows (and gearing levels) on the additional cash flow, as that can change in a heartbeat.
May as well pay your tax bill up front. There's no point in fooling yourself how much cash you have available.
