I don't doubt your expertise for a minute - I was just wondering.

Plus it's all a sales pitch to get you to sign up before they inevitable say - sadly you don't qualify once you've committed to being with them for x months.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

They are making 15% minimum cut on your expenses - so they have a vested interest. They are constantly prompting me not to forgot to claim my expenses. Their list of allowable expenses is very long. I actually don't doubt that they do pay as they explained, however as a basic rate taxpayer - with them taking min 15% - its really not worth my while. I can see how a higher rate tax payer might see the benefit though. I have also had confirmation from other Parasol "employees" who have successfully claimed.
Can I just check here what you mean by expenses.
Expenses to me are travel and subsistence while at the end client's main location
Mobile phones and computer purchases aren't really that type of expense and I believe that is what you (and Parasol) are talking about with the 15% here.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Parasol call Electronic equipment Business costs - but the staff use the term expenses interchangeably as per the email blurb i posted in my earlier post. A laptop, ipad or mobile phone is described as a Business cost which they will reimburse 85% for and retain 15% because they still own it - and then when you complete the assignment you can buy it off them for the 15% remainder (or more) depending on the value.
