Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

What is CIS?

The Construction Industry Scheme requires contractors to be engaged on a self-employed basis.

As part of the scheme, contractors deduct money from a subcontractor’s payments and transfer it to HM Revenue and Customs.

How can Avancer Enterprises help?

Avancer Enterprises has robust processes in place to guarantee full compliance with HMRC guidelines. With our competitive margins and public liability insurance, we provide a comprehensive service for all contractors in the construction industry.

We will streamline all of the paperwork on your behalf. We also do not require you to agree to an annual contract, so you are free to use our services as and when you choose.

At the end of the tax year, you have a full record of your earnings to claim tax back on your business expenses.

Public Liability Insurance

As a fully-compliant company, Avancer will request proof that you have public liability cover in place in the form of a cover note or insurance document.

Public liability insurance protects a business in the event that someone makes a claim against you for causing accidental damage or injury, whether to individuals or property. This claim could be made due to circumstances which took place either at your premises, or as a result of your business activities.
