Some MPs are planning to challenge requests they repay money following an independent review of expenses claims.
Auditor Sir Thomas Legg has reviewed second homes expenses claims since 2004 and applied new annual limits on those for gardening and cleaning.
One MP, Labour's Bill Etherington, has said he will not repay money if he feels it was justifiable at the time.
Tory leader David Cameron has said he will withdraw the whip from any of his MPs who refuse to pay when asked.
He told GMTV: "In the end, if people are asked to pay back money and if the authorities determine that money should be paid back and they don't pay it back, in my view, they can't stand as Conservative MPs."
