The Times carried an article (June 17) entitled "Sant forecasts as 'real problem' VAT on culture and education".

For the record, your readers should know that EU law on VAT exempts both education and culture from VAT (Article 13 of the Sixth VAT Directive provides for exemptions). Maltese law also exempts them.

There can, therefore, hardly be any "real problem" about VAT on culture and education in the context of Malta-EU negotiations.
