I had a quick poke around and it took me a while to find an exact statement on expenses. Here it is:
There are other conditions around being able to claim expenses and we go through these in full with a Contractor to ensure they are well informed.
For contractors using Parasol we offer an 'expense dispensations’ that saves time with administration (but should not allow expense claims that are not actually spent).
...whilst you correctly state that contractors shouldn't claim for expenses they didn't incur, surely a dispensation doesn't save them any time what so ever? So why mention it at all?

I think we could fix that by stating that it saves us (Parasol) time and the Contractor as P11d would need to be produced (several thousand in our case) which is a cost that would have some proportion passed on and be some form of admin on the Contractor. If no dispensation we would require ALL receipts ALL the time and surely not having to do that in this regard is an advantage to the contractor without being ott in claim (may be only marginal) ?
We do not say don't keep receipts and claim for anything - we also check EVERY claim and carry out further random checks on non-receipted items to ensure receipts are available.
I think you made a fair challenge and if there was a level playing field we could all be much clearer.
