(1)This section applies where the cost of an employment-related benefit (“the taxable benefit”) is to be determined under section 205.

(2)If, for the whole or part of the tax year concerned, the same asset is available for more than one employee's private use at the same time, the total of the amounts which are the cost of the taxable benefit for each of those employees is to be limited to the annual cost of the benefit of the asset determined in accordance with section 205(2).

(3)The cost of the taxable benefit for each employee is determined by taking the amount given by section 205(1C) and then reducing that amount on a just and reasonable basis.

(4)For the purposes of this section, an asset is available for an employee's private use if it is available for private use by the employee or a member of the employee's family or household.
