13. We want to replace our current company cars with something more tax efficient, but the sales force is objecting. Can we just do it?

To begin with, check the terms of the relevant employees' contracts of employment. If the contracts are silent on this - if they say nothing about it - then in theory at least your sales force might be able to argue that you are breaching terms established by custom, even if never spelt out. If in doubt, consult a lawyer about the situation, with a view to ensuring that your terms and conditions make it quite plain in future that the choice of company car is yours.
