Expense

Let's say I am on a business trip and if I spend money for business related purposed, my employer will pay me back:

"I receive expense allowances."
"I receive expenses."

Could the second one be correct?
  

Top answer

The second one is more general and applicable. I believe "expense allowance" is a term specifically used for tax and insurance-related purposes. Don't quote me on that, though.
