I'm new to contracting and signing up with an umbrella coy - some say I need receipts for expenses, others say I don't. Which is correct? They all claim to be inland revenue approved.

Anyone who says you don't need receipts is talking tulipe. Especially if they are an umbrella.
Other than your staying away from home PIE limit of a fiver a day, you have to be able to prove (and justify) expenditure for EVERYTHING. -

You are mistaken. Receipts are not required. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk//manuals/nimmanual/NIM06030.htmOriginally posted by BradleyYou still need receipts to prove that the PIE payment was properly calculated.
And for the OP receipts are not strictly necessary. However this is the most convenient method of satisfying to an inspector the expenditure took place.Comment
