The problem is the last time I heard UK developers can't actually list apps with prices US Dollars, and because you can only set one price you'll have to explain to the tax man why your inclusive of VAT prices and exclusive of VAT prices are the same. There is also the issue that you have to show that which region the end customer is resident in, so if a UK resident buys an app via Market whilst they are temporarily in the US you should still be charging VAT.
I have a couple of companies and one of them deals with US sales via PayPal, we list the product in several currencies (USD, EUR, and GBP included), we get to keep the balance in the payment currency until and when we need to convert it to GBP to put into the UK account we convert however much we need into GBP and send it to the account. This allows us to show customers prices in currencies they're familiar with (because given the choice they will deal in their native currency), lets us ensure that what one customer pays in USD on one day is the same as what another customer pays in USD a week later (thus avoiding problems like "hey, my mate only paid 79 cents, I paid 82 cents, that's a con!!!"), and lets us show differing prices which can include any appropriate taxes for that region. As the moment Checkout and therefore Market are very much US centric and so cause a number of headaches for non-US developers even if you can get past the pricing and listing restrictions.
