US goods are hit with a VAT when they enter Germany. The VAT is removed from German exports to U.S., which are imported to the U.S. with no additional cost. THAT is the advantage for German manufacturing.
Still makes no sense. Your first statement is imprecise at best. US goods have VAT added to them when SOLD in Germany, as do all German goods. Same, same.
Both US and German cars have VAT added, paid by the buyer, when sold in Germany. The VAT is neither a profit nor a loss to the maker, be they German or US.
Neither US nor German makers have VAT added to their selling price in the US - just some taxes by a different name. Again, same, same.
There is NO VAT-related advantage for German makers. You do not seem to understand what VAT is. It is always, always, always the end consumer who pays it. Makers couldn’t care less.
