Last week, a caller called to ask if gasoline has VAT or not. She said that when they filled their talk at one gasoline station, there was VAT indicated at the bottom of the receipt whereas in another gasoline station there was none. The radio announcer does not know and said they'll try to find out.

This week, another caller called the station to complain that they made some purchases in a grocery store and there was no mention about an VAT but after they have paid for the item and checked their receipt, there was VAT indicated at the bottom of receipt. The radio announcer said they will try to find out.

If the radio announcer who should have been up to date on the latest news and developments in the country cannot answer the question, given a week to try to find out and has no answer, how can we expect the general public, who rely on the media, to understand what is happening around us.
