CX 7: Employer or associated person treated as having right to use vehicle under arrangement
or “Employer treated as having right to use employee's car during personal use”

You could also call this:

“How multiple employees' personal use of a company car on the same day is taxed”

If your employer lets more than one employee use a company car for personal reasons on the same day, it’s counted as one instance of use. The taxable value of this benefit is reduced by the total amount that any of the employees pay towards it.
