> VAT makes it harder for US car company to sell in UK. It reduces number of US jobs making cars.

that makes no sense.

Assuming the same amount of cars sold, with or without VAT the amount of US jobs making cars would stay the same. VAT is applied to any car regardless of origin it's not harder or easier for anyone.
