How does cancelling a task affect me?

Before requesting a cancellation, consider the following important points:

• No secure payment or access to Airtasker Support: Only tasks completed through the platform can benefit from secure payments or the expert help of the Support team.

• Fee for cancellation processing:
• Cancellations create an administrative overhead for the community. As such a fee of 10% of the task payment (to a max of $20) fee may be applied when processing cancellations.
• If applicable, this fee will need to be paid by the Airtasker member responsible for cancelling, as indicated through the cancellation reason. 
  
  
• The impact on your reputation as a reliable Airtasker member: Cancelling can negatively affect your completion rate, making it harder for you to get quality offers or be assigned to tasks.

• Limitation or deactivation of your Airtasker profile: Repeatedly cancelling tasks can result in your Airtasker account being limited or deactivated. See more details here.
