>In addition, Germany’s value-added tax is remitted on exports but charged on imports

Germany's, and all other countries', VAT is a tax on purchases by consumers in that country. It wouldn't make sense to levy it on exported cars. It works just as I assume it does with American car manufacturers who don't charge Ohio sales tax on cars they make in Ohio and export to the EU, or indeed California, right?
