I spend £100, get a receipt that doesn't have a VAT breakdown. - this bit is fine
You should then log it in the Parasol portal as a "client billable expense", once this is submitted and approved Parasol will send the agency an invoice but add VAT to it. So VAT gets added to any VAT you have already paid. (I know its silly but that's the way the tax rules are written apparently)
Agency bills the client - not your problem buy they should be adding VAT correctly
Agency sends the £100 to Parasol - this bit is wrong, as the agency owes Parasol 120, ie the 100 plus 20 VAT
Parasol now has the £100 from the client, yes but they owe 20 % to the tax man
Parasol gives me £83.33, they have only had part payment from the agency
Good luck
I lose £16.67
