Eliza comes to Higgins in Act II and asks if her clothes belong to her or to Colonel PIckering, who, presumeably, paid for them. My assumption has always been that Higgins is providing the house and the staff and the food (for both Pickering and Eliza) and that Pickering is paying for everything else having to do with the project.

JereNYC, thanks for the reminder about the clothes comment, which seems to indicate Pickering is paying for some of Eliza's expenses.

It's clearly stated in Act 1. Pickering proposes the bet with Higgins, saying that he'll pay all expenses and for the lessons.
