Of COURSE it's true. How many people actually read that part of the receipt (in fact, I've been back here a year--left before there was a VAT--and hadn't realized it was there, but I did at least know what the general rate was before I got here). You certainly CAN find out what the tax rate is, but ask a random five people you work with what the VAT rate is.
