Standard charge is the mechanic's usual inc-GST cost divided by 1.1, plus the margin: $107 for CarBuyers, $155 for everyone else (including CarBuyersAus, which is a different company). That reproduces the Mechanics Invoicing Charges table.
If the mechanic invoices more than usual, Verifi wears the extra up to the client's buffer. Anything over the buffer is added to the client's charge, converted to ex GST.
Example: a client with a $40 buffer. Mechanic usually $120, invoices $180. Extra is $60, Verifi absorbs $40, client pays an extra $20 inc GST ($18.18 ex GST).
Buffers and pricing come from the Clients Buffer tab in the VI Dashboard. Ask Adrian to update this page if a buffer changes.
