Counting contact terms in $B\to Vγ$ decays

We clarify the origin and cancellation of contact terms in the weak annihilation amplitudes contributing to $B\to V γ$. It is demonstrated that the photon emission from the final-state quarks vanishes in the chiral limit of massless quarks. The contact terms in the QCD light-cone sum rule evaluation of the weak annihilation amplitudes are also discussed.
