How can I be removed from the list of research providers?
You can request to be removed from the list of research providers at any time by contacting us:
- through our website
- by phone, or
- by letter.
You will need to specify the date you wish to be removed.
Alternatively, we may remove you if a review indicates you no longer meet the LRP criteria.
What happens to my contracts if I am no longer an LRP?
If you are removed from the list of research providers while under contract for LRP services:
- you complete your contractual obligations, and
- the contracting business may still be eligible for the R&D tax credit.
You may not enter into new LRP R&D contracts if you have been removed from the list of research providers.
When can I reapply for LRP status?
You may reapply for LRP status at any time once the reasons for your removal have been addressed.
