hello freelancers!

i've read this thread with interest as i'm about to sign up with a contractor umbrella company. curiously, they tell me that i don't necessarily need to keep receipts since they have a special dispensation from the inland revenue. now before you all jump on the first time poster asking a silly question do you guys actually know for sure if i need to keep receipts or are you just spouting off lines that you've heard on other forums and from so say experts? the reason i ask is because the umbrella company i'm referring to has over 6,000 happy customers and i've none of them need to keep receipts so i'm sure the inland would have been in there like a shot if they were doing something criminally wrong?
